Over at Coroflot’s Creative Seeds blog Carl Alviani interviews 5 design professionals about their average work day, asking one simple question, “How do you get all your work done?” Here’s a snippet:

Given the large fraction of us who work to a ticking clock, whether as a freelancer, in a consultancy, or through a corporate budgetary allotment, figuring out The Trick to being productive all day, every day, is of great concern. The problem, as most of you are probably already aware, is that there is no Trick, just as there’s no Secret to Being Creative…

Janna - Freelance Interaction Designer: “My workflow is very very random. I’ll work at ten o’clock at night if that’s what seems to be working, and I’ll sleep in ’til ten am if that’s what I need….I know there are people out there who need a schedule, but I am actually the opposite. I basically just need one thing a day, to get me moving.”

Lyza - Web and Mobile Device Developer: “I’m a co-founder of the company where I work, so I hold to a pretty regular schedule: come in between 9:30 and 10, leave 6 or 6:30. Occasional weekends…I’d say it’s a good day if I get 4 to 6 billable hours in.”
