Time/week spent: 5h - 20h

Initially, time was spent learning and researching best practices, tools, and methodologies. As projects came in, more time was dedicated to client work, including creating wireframes, user flows, and conducting user research. Admin tasks like emails and invoicing, as well as marketing efforts to find new clients, also took time. The workload varied depending on project phases, with more time needed during project kick-offs and less during maintenance phases. Online communities suggest that time commitment can vary widely, with some spending more time upfront to establish themselves and less as they gain experience and streamline processes.
