Sean, over at Position:Relative has written a very practical and readable article about the challenges faced by independent designers.

The main heads under which he has written the article are :

• Starting up is hard to do
• The bills your boss used to pay
• Too much to chew
• Shark-Infested waters
• Losing your way
• Losing your way, again
• Procrastination
• Staying Organized
• Admin
• Isolation

While it leans toward painting a gloomy picture, one thing I learned was that it is POSSIBLE for an independent designer to be doing 15 projects at one time! And I thought I was overworked!
