Sunday 8th March – 4pm

My chores are all done. Dog walked, clothes ironed, house cleaned, supper prepared. At long last I get my 2 hour window to work on my website. Yay! My mind has been buzzing with ideas all day and I can’t wait to get started.

I open my emails – 32 from Wealthy Affiliate ……”a new question”….”a new blog post”….”xxx is now following you”……

Well, it’d be rude not to read them wouldn’t it?

I open the first one……read the blog……visit their site……comment on it.

Open another……read their profile……comment on the profile……visit their site……read their post……leave comments.

One profile leads to another…..and another…..and another.

Sunday 8th March – 6pm.

32 emails later and my 2 hour window slammed firmly shut. The time has flown by. Not one idea put into action. Not one thing ticked off my list. Am I frustrated? No, not really. I didn’t do exactly as I’d planned, but I’ve been inspired, moved, been given fresh ideas and tomorrow is another day.

Onwards and upwards and hopefully a little more focussed today :)
