Saturday Morning Thoughts
I joined WA in May and took my time going through the first, free lesson. After upgrading, I've tried going through the training a little faster, but not so fast that I risk retaining the information. I “schedule” time in my week to work on the training and my site. The community here at WA is very unexpected--everyone I've interacted with so far has been amazingly helpful and supportive. I've also re-discovered my love of learning.
The learning doesn't stop at the WA training. As I start to follow more members and read their blog posts (activities within Level 2 of the Online Entrepreneur Certification), I'm learning so much more from the community. The variety of interests in the community is impressive. I've read some great posts on genealogy, exercise, and yoga just to name a few. Not only have I set aside time for training and working on my site, but I’ve also started scheduling time to interact with others here on WA.
My excitement grows each day!

As an online college student, & an aspiring online entrepreneur & business professional, time management is definitely my greatest struggle. Your game plan is a very good one indeed, but nowhere near easy for me. I am always open to ideas or helpful strategies, or any advice, at all, on how to discipline my self & my time management..... does this come easy to you, or is it something you struggle with as well?
The struggle is so real! I have used my calendar app on my phone, a physical planner, and a blank journal to write down my "to do" list. The journal has been the most motivating for me. I can check things off and that motivates me to push through to the next thing. I started with a few lists: my goals, the things that are important to me, the things that suck up my time, and the things I have to do (like spend 40-45 hours at my "day job"). From there, I started cutting down on the time-sucking activities and adding things like watching a training video here on WA. Start small--15 minute blocks are fine.
