First take some time off to perform a time audit. Really take a look at what you're spending time on, and reducing the amount of time consumption that keeps you from freelancing before you do so. Not sleeping is not a sustainable nor a scalable option.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm finally turning the corner, and actually doing work, rather than surfing the web, or caving and watching TV or something unproductive.

Yeah I attempted that many months ago. My body told me a definitive, "NO." I listened. :)

It's not just surfing the web, caving and watching TV. Doing household chores, cooking, laundry, and completing other errands aren't necessarily productive either. Also the billing, expense tracking, and bank reconciliation. You may not be able to eliminate them completely. My original message was find a way to automate and delegate those responsibilities so that you can focus on the highly-productive tasks.
