Freelance web developer background currently developer / business owner - my achievable baseline is 30 hours of billed out time and around 10 hours of admin/emails/meetings etc. Keeping the emails from eating the rest is an ongoing battle though.


Do you not charge for meetings? And what about emails where you're hashing out something clearly in the domain of what you're working on?


It depends on the meetings (and the email), if its directly related to a project it can fall under project management but a lot of them end up being internal comms or estimating for minor jobs that might not be approved etc.


When I’m consulting the only meetings I don’t bill for are meetings with prospects.
