drag different types of work into specific time slots and color-code them so you can see exactly when to focus on what.

warning

render times mess up your schedule and you end up with awkward gaps where you can't start major work but feel guilty doing nothing.

plan shorter admin or learning tasks during render slots so those waiting periods become productive instead of stressful.

warning

yesterday's unfinished work haunts today's creativity, making you feel behind before you even start modeling.

frequently asked questions

Can I adjust my schedule when renders take longer than expected as a Freelance 3D Artist?

Absolutely! You can drag tasks around in real-time when renders run over or finish early. The visual layout makes it easy to see what you can shift around without derailing your whole day.

How do I balance client work with building my personal portfolio?

Use color-coding to visually separate paid client work from portfolio projects. Set up recurring time blocks for portfolio work so it becomes a non-negotiable part of your routine, just like client deadlines.

Does PlanHourly work well for the irregular schedules that come with freelance 3D work?

Yes! Since every day starts fresh, you can adapt to last-minute client requests or project changes without feeling guilty about abandoned yesterday plans. The drag-and-drop interface makes daily replanning quick and stress-free.
