In this week’s Question Time video post I talk about balancing between working from home and general home life; what apps I use for managing my blogs, Twitter and RSS feeds; I share some of my favourite bands; and I discuss how I decide what to write blog posts about.

This week’s questions

  • How do you balance freelancing and home life?
  • Which apps/tools do you use for managing Twitter, RSS and your blogs?
  • Who are some of your favorite bands?
  • How do you decide what to write blog posts about?
