Sneaking Time for WA
Is it only me, or does anyone else find that they have to almost sneak snippets of time to work on WA?
I am temporarily staying with a friend and her busy family. There's always something I feel like I need to do to contribute to the the household e.g. dishes to wash, tidying up after the family, conversations to be had, etc.
I appear to be so anti-social when I put my earphones on to listen to the lessons and work on my website. I actually feel guilty. What is that all about?
Any suggestions for carving out guilt-free time to work on WA?

Organize your time and place things into folders so that you can pick up a folder and instantly start to work on that project; even if it is only for ten minutes. you will be surprised at how much you can get done. Dave.
Hello Gingerbeer,
You've got the right attitude about contributing to the household, but it's also just as legitimate (and even more essential) to contribute to your own future - because, after all, no-one else can really do that for you.
It would be appropriate to say to everyone that they'll have to excuse you for a bit so that you can get on with some study/training/whatever else might be considered suitable. That way they wouldn't think you're excluding them to listen to music or watch videos on your own.
It's always difficult to find time for your own projects, but that's what it's like for internet marketers, so you just have to find a way that you feel comfortable excusing yourself from other things. Everyone who works at home has this problem. 'Normal' people think that you're doing whatever they're doing when they're at home. But you're not. You're building a future.
Keep going, Gingerbeer. This is just another one of those hurdles in life's obstacle course.
All the best,

Thanks so much for your reply, I'm going to implement all suggestions because I need o get a handle on this. Happy New Year.
It is hard for me to quiet the voices in my head telling me there is something more pressing to take care of, but I keep a 4x6 card on my desk that says........"If you don't like the road your walking on, start paving another one !" I now make time for our future Write a list of what you want to accomplish and then find a way to achieve those goals. Remember Rome was not built in a day. Don't give up and stay focused on those goals. Best wishes to you.
I know what you're saying. There's always something..... Try to find a little block of time that you can set a schedule and try, very hard, to stick to it!
Then there's always free wifi at McDonald's, lol

It's true, I'm thinking I will have to go out to a coffee shop or library o something so that I can get quality thinking time.

Josette, WA is time consuming. It seems like there is never enough time. I feel you on that. It''s new and exciting to you, plus it's your own online affiliate !marketing business. One that you will control and you are off to a great start. You will do well, I applaud for taking that leap of faith upgrading to Premium. Congratulations and have a great year.
Hey thanks for such an encouraging reply. I wish you every success on your WA journey.
