自由职业者如何安排生活

        12:00

　　I head into Manhattan for a business lunch. I am frequently networking with magazine and book editors, many of whom I’ve known so long that they are also friends.

　　To keep my business going,I’m constantly sending out pitches,ideas for future articles. I need to read widely to make sure I’m not duplicating recent articles.

　　为保证我的事业持续发展，我会不断地宣传一些关于我未来文章的论点。我需要广泛地阅读以确保论点不会与近期其他文章“撞车”。

　　15:00

　　I return phone calls from the list I made earlier this morning. My assistant will continue working until 17:00 or so, but I often head into the city around 15:00 to meet with the chef, getting new recipes, asking questions and doing interviews for head note material.

　　我按照早晨列的单子回复电话。我的助手会继续工作到下午五点左右，而我经常会在下午三点左右出发到城里与厨师长会面，取得新食谱，问些问题并做做访谈，为前言搜集材料。
