Week 5 & 6 at Wealthy Affiliate - Stumbling, but not Defeated!
Published on February 19, 2018

I cannot believe it has already been 6 weeks since I joined the wonderful community here at Wealthy Affiliate! So much has happened, and I have already accomplished so much.
However, I am also currently experiencing my first real setbacks, and these last 2 weeks have been a struggle.
I am a high school Math & Science teacher, and that in itself requires a lot of out of school hours: planning, grading, report cards, etc. This has been exacerbated by the fact that I am currently teaching 2 subjects I have never taught before...1 of which was given to me 4 days before the start of the new semester.

Now I am not ungrateful, as this is a wonderful learning opportunity for me as a newer teacher, but man has it been a LOT of work and a lot of scrambling to plan lessons for my students. I am still striving for quality and being knowledgeable in these classes so my students can have confidence in me.
However what that has meant is that I have been seriously lacking in time and energy to work on my website, and that's been very frustrating. I went from being able to spend at least a few hours per day on my site and creating content every other day, to struggling to find the time to create 1 or 2 posts per week.
But I will NOT let this get me down and I am working very hard to make better uses of my time, so that I can dedicate myself more fully to WA again. I want this website to take off and I am still more than willing to do the work. I love my niche and love to write about it, so that has not changed in any way. I just need to figure out a way to be more efficient with all my time, so that I can squeeze the most out of every minute.
I also just wanted to take a minute here to thank everyone who takes the time to read my blog posts and offer their comments and feedback. Also a huge thanks to all the people who have reached out to me in these past 6 weeks to offer guidance, advice and encouragement. You are all amazing and I appreciate every single one of you!
Well, now that I have posted this and held myself accountable, time to resume taking action and building my site! Onwards & Upwards!
