For those of you struggling, you are doing it wrong.
For example, surfing QBN is "research/development". Make sure to bill for that. So is watching Madmen or The Pitch. Bill for that too.
Make sure you have the dog around when you eat lunch. Talk to it about your project and write it off as a business lunch. Also charge back the time to the client that you were discussing as "meetings/consultations". If you're dog's name is patches, you are doing it wrong. Change it William James Powers. On the invoice, indicate William James Powers as present for the time billed. The name sounds important, no one will ask.
Buy some snacks / cold plates for when you watch porn, write that off as a work social or gathering. If you have a sketchy client, put 'em on speaker phone and boom, meeting.
Really, what is the problem?
