frequently asked questions
Can I quickly reschedule when clients send urgent feedback as a Freelance UX Designer?
Absolutely. Just drag tasks to new time slots when priorities change. The visual layout makes it easy to see where you can shift less urgent work. Your schedule adapts as fast as client needs do.
How does PlanHourly help me protect time for non-billable UX work like skill building?
Use color-coded categories to block specific hours for personal projects, learning, or portfolio work. When these hours are visually blocked, you're less likely to let billable work creep into your growth time.
Does PlanHourly work well for the irregular schedules that come with freelance UX work?
Yes, every morning starts completely fresh with no guilt from yesterday's unfinished tasks. Plan each day based on your actual client commitments and energy levels, not some rigid weekly template.
