I have a routine that keeps me productive. Basically, I get to work the same time most days, even drinking coffee at the same time and such, as well as taking breaks at the same time.

It's a little repetitive but it works great to keep me productive as I'm self-employed.

I worked for some time as self-employed.. The hardest part was to maintain discipline. And I've got to the same conclusion: routine. What makes your life seem boring when you're an employee, is what keeps you from procrastinating all day when you are self-employed.
