Ask Is it okay to tell a client that you are not available for a certain period of time?

[Edward22]

Freelancers do not have fixed working hours like regular jobs, but that does not mean they are always free. There are times when you need rest, personal time, or to focus on other work. Some people feel worried that telling a client they are not available might look unprofessional or reduce trust. At the same time, being honest can help avoid problems later. How do you inform clients about your availability without affecting the working relationship?
