By the sounds of it Dale, you either work for Revenue Canada or in Finance in some department, given the time of year. Tax time and the beginning of the fiscal year. I understand the desire to avoid the computer when you get home. I was the same with the telephone. What I would suggest, and I say this to my students who also have busy lives, try and find 30 minutes or an hour out of each day to do one thing.
In your case you have two-15 minute breaks and 30 minute lunch. Use some of that time to go through a course or Live Chat, or something at Wealthy Affiliate. You are already on the computer. Just a thought.

I see you are good partners in life as husband and wife. It's good to continue your work in your Government and wait for your retirement.
Your website is like a land that appreciates in time. A Site is Like a Piece of Land-It Appreciates in Value .

Good luck.

Hi Dale
Your post in itself is a blessing to many, and great encouragement too.I doubt many people here have such busy schedules and we still complain.Being this busy , you say you don't give up. Great attitude.
You sure can't stay up late because of early mornings, but where I can see an hour or a little less you can give to the training and doing your site is here.
What if after supper you go to your computer and take your grandson with you and tell him you are busy building your future empire and that your grandson can get preparing for that too doing some stuff which will develop him- quiet drawing, maybe learning letters, maybe some lego- just suggestions. Don't know what he is into.
God bless!:)

Sounds like a busy schedule. You might want to force a 15 minute brisk walk in when you get home. That small break and exercise could be just the thing to give you a little more energy. - Shirley

Good on you for raising your grandson. Hope it works out

My goodness. You don't have much wiggle room in there! I admire how both you and your wife are working and taking care of your grandson too.
Your employment is seven days a week. Whew.
Do you think you could write 20 minutes before bedtime 5 times a week? Or listen to a training video?
That doesn't sound like much but sometimes you can get on a roll.
Something that really helps me is UV blocker glasses I wear when working at the computer.
My eyes don't get as tired.
I'm amazed you do so much.
I hope that's a little help.

My day reads a lot like yours except the kid is mine , we also have a spoiled cat and a brand new rescue puppy who is so needy I can’t even begin to explain . I start my day at 5 am and end it around 11( but most of the House is down by 10 so that hour is me time. I can only say what I decided ... I know I can’t work in that last hour , my brain is too fried but I can research keywords or watch a couple lessons . My Saturdays are busy days too ... but I carved out 2 hours there . I do my articles as a rough draft in the morning by getting up 45 minutes earlier (usually by the end of the day before I know what I am going to be writing ) I print them and read them again hours later on lunch and will edit or switch things ... if I can I will try for the final write that night but if not than well I start the morning with the rewrite , push the next article a day and call it the best I can do . We can only do what we can do.... if it’s a hour carved throughout the day than that’s what is . I hope I can clear a bit more time on Saturday but for now it is what it is. Sunday’s I’m loath to touch they have been and will always be family time for me . It’s the only day I actually get to see my husband for longer than 2 minutes, it’s a day I can play a game with my daughter , teach the puppy a new trick , visit a new park , watch a movie together etc etc etc ...... oh and sleep , one must have sleep sometimes lol

At least you have the steps written down. Now, maybe you can adjust. Does your wife help with the online business? Maybe she can help you on Sundays and you two can knock out some meal preps. This way, you can wake up at 4:30 am and get some work in on WA. then you get ready for work and you literally open fridge, grab lunch and go! Meal preps can also help you eat healthier if that is something you are trying to do so you kill two problems with 1 stone.

good Luck with everything Dale. You got this!!!

Listen to me very closely( A la Eric Thomas) this where you gonna have to push your comfort zone, comfort zone = income zone , in any en devour that you take do it with all your focus and one thing i have learn from the hard knocks university is that your mind is your #1 enemy , it will set you limitations and lies , it will create doubt and within the mind will start asking how are you gonna do that, Solution: Meditation will help you understand more your self and even push you're self to a higher standard, but wanna know why? Cause meditation goals its to watch and monitor what your mind is saying and emotions and do not let it control you instead your true self bring the awareness , Its not easy to do but it was brought me to be more productive in my life like never before , i put my heart on this post :).

Where are you in the lessons and with your website? Also, are you free or premium? Is your wife interested in your online usiness? Your answers to these questions will have a bearing on what advice we can give.
