Back from Short Break: Holidays spoil the Pot
Hi guys, a few days ago I posted on the Make Money Training that I wanted to quit as no affiliate links would respond to let me in or not in their marketing. The support I received is overwhelming and I greatly appreciate it a lot.
I do not want to be a waning/complaining ing cow but it's just that I wanted to follow the training to the letter but not being accepted by any affiliate program has put me off balance coupled by the two weeks I was on leave from my business, WA.
And now the festive season holidays I am now off balance more especially that I am staying home with the kids, the house helper and others have gone for holidays. I got to do everything myself, tired all the time and no more time for my WA, so more that I am supposed to work hard to create content, apply from other affiliate programs etc etc. But now I won't have time for my WA!
I wonder what is going to happen to my website, I am completely off balance. I lost focus, no more energetic and as motivated as before, keeping up my house together and maintaining my website seems a daunting task for me at the moment, besides I do not want to work on my WA or website in this state of mind coz I may end up doing more harm than just let everything be for now.
I do not want to create substandard content just for the sake of working on the business, though I am not in the right space of mind.
Any body in a similar situation? Any advice?
I would most appreciate your comments on this matter.
Thank you

Hi Lovisa, I'm so happy to meet fellow Namibian!
Well I am also in a similar situation, I am struggling to juggle my WA with my 9-5 job. My job is so demanding and I sometimes work overtime meaning when I get home most of the time I just want to throw myself on the bed and rest.
So I've decided to always do a little work on WA just before I sleep.
I have dedicated 4 hours each day to WA so I always make time for it.
I found it very hard at first but now I am a bit consistent. I have limited myself from browsing the net and from spending countless hours on social media doing NOTHING. I use this time for WA instead.
I am very surprised at how much work I have done in a few weeks ever since I became dedicated.
Please don't give up, you are just a few steps away from your success. You can do this. We have plenty of time we just need to manage it well.
Hoping to hear from you soon :)

It sounds like you need a break right now, so you have time to catch up with yourself. I've had the same problem, especially losing focus, when life gets in the way and upsets the applecart. It doesn't hurt to take a break and it doesn't hurt to go slowly. One suggestion: Get a notebook and make a list of all the things you need to accomplish. Put the items under subheadings, like "kids." "holiday prep," "blog activities." Your blog activities might be really little things, like jotting down ideas of what you would like to write about, or which items you need to learn more about (with me it is always the tech stuff.) It is a way to start organizing your life. I will be trying to organize mine as well. Don't feel like the Lone Ranger.
Do a little everyday and you will make it.
