frequently asked questions
Can I easily reschedule client work when revisions come in as a Freelance Graphic Designer?
Absolutely! Just drag tasks to new time slots when priorities shift. The visual layout makes it easy to see how moving one client project affects the rest of your day, so you can quickly adjust without losing track of other deadlines.
Does PlanHourly work well for creative blocks when inspiration doesn't follow a schedule?
Yes, the drag-and-drop interface lets you instantly move creative work to when you're feeling inspired and swap in admin tasks during lower-energy periods. You're not locked into rigid time blocks - you're just giving your day structure.
How does the color-coding help with managing different types of design work?
You can visually separate client work, business development, creative exploration, and admin tasks. At a glance, you'll see if your day is too heavy on one type of work and can rebalance before you start feeling burned out.
