After a full day of work today, I'm happy about the progress I have made. While getting one blog post up for one of the sites, I have been working more on the other site that I have started, including making the crafts I needed for a video. My overall key to getting a productive day is to set goals. The goals I set are not written down all at once though. If I wrote down a list for the whole day, I would forget to do some or not get everything accomplished. The ways I have found to accomplish m

(It was more of getting the money up as I do freelance writing to make the majority of my income.) With this step though, I'm hoping that I can get away from freelance writing in the future for good.

After a successful day yesterday, I am now up and running with my website. All that is needed is to finish up the rest of the Getting Started Courses, which I am currently on lesson 7, and apply them as I go. This might be a bit trickier today, as of location to where I live right in between mountains and a school district that closes for any reason they can think of.
