My experience at Wealthy Affiliate - week 28 of 52
I am writing my weekly update whilst also finishing my second post of the week. See, there's a little example of multitasking I gave you there, unintentionally mind you #lol
No news is good news
Don't you feel overwhelmed by daily news bulletins sometimes, when you realise that they only deliver bad news. Well, today I wan to deliver the news that no news is good news.
I have moved on only by one Bootcamp lesson, but I have revamped quite a few accounts which I had opened but not followed up. They include my Jaaxy one, and my 2 Twitter accounts, which I had neglected for many weeks. My Border Terrier posse must have thought my dog Indy and I had abandoned them!!
I published my first post on Wednesday, I believe, but did not quite promote it till Friday and today again.
Too many balls to juggle
My problem is, I guess, an ongoing one: there are always too many balls to juggle at the same time. These include doing your material and keyword research ahead of writing more content, marketing your content as well as maintaining network levels on all your social media platforms nearly daily, and at the same time keep learning here on WA - because at the end of the day, that's what we are hear for.
Be in control
Personally, I struggle to find any flaw with WA. But, if there is one thing that all of us at some point seem to go through here is that overwhelming feeling of not being able to keep up with it all. And I thought it may affect only people working here on a part time basis, like me. But I have found out that it affects absolutely everybody, irrespective of the number of hours your put into this daily.
So, here's my little advice for this week: keep in control. You will never be able to do it all and learn it all at once. The first and foremost thing to learn, therefore, should be to accept your limitations, and to grow from there. We all have strength and weaknesses. So long as we know where we stand with them, and so long as we accept this, we should all be on the way to success.
Next week in the news
For next week, I would like to move in the same direction: a couple of posts, more Bootcamp lessons (ideally 3, time constrictions allowing) and more social media networking.
My first thing tomorrow will be lay out the prep work: research for my posts and list down my best niche related keywords. Hopefully, if I can stick to this plan, I should be able to start typing away on Tuesday evening.
Let's see if, this time next week, I shall be able to confirm that I stuck to the plan!!!

Good evening Giulia,
That we can not always stick to the plan is often our own fault as we want to do too many things, To have too high expectations of ourselves and then not being able to fulfill it causes stress. Something similar I just wrote to Sarah who was also overwhelmed with all the daily chores to then feel bad for not having enough time for WA.
Anyhow, soon a new week is starting with new challenges and hopefully also some fun.
Greetings from the south of Spain, Taetske

Giulia, what you achieved this week isn't that a lot more than the last couple of weeks? Are you happy with what you reached? I guess you are. And that is what counts. You maybe didn't reach your target, but you succeeded in doing a lot of work. Don't put the stakes too high. And don't forget to take a break in between.
Eric, I must stop encouraging to take breaks, or else there will be me sorted watching telly the rest of the week #lol
