I admire your dedication. I just worry about burn out from the schedule you've created. WA is flexible so make sure your goals are realistic and don't end up frustrating you to keep up. The training and development of the website is more important than keeping up with emails...though I have to admit...that's the fun part. All the best.

My husband hates that time of year when he has to work on the budget items for his department. He works for the US Courts system, so you can imagine how that goes. It always causes him so much stress. Luckily for him, it comes once a year and his commute is 45 minutes by train with a 4 minute walk to the house each way.

I hope that you do get your sites up and running in such a way that they are paying you enough to stay home to work. Just remember to keep it fun.

The struggle is real brother, but worth the effort. Don't lose faith, just keep pressing forward. Peace bro!

Hi Mike

The picture will look very different in a few years. At the pace you are working, I expect you will be free to live life the way you want to and leave the corporate world and all of it's demands behind.

Just remember to take some time out for yourself on the way through - no point in burning out before the dream is realised :0)

Cheers

I don't know how you do it!
Personally I have found this way to streamline WA time.
I don't know if you are interested but I don't look at the WA emails at all most of the time. You can shut off most of those notification or just ignore the emails if you use the notifications on the screen here. If you keep up on them (so there are no red or green notifications) each day then it is easy to see what is new. If I have email I just see the red letter and go see what I have. It turns off the notification for each one once I have read it. So if there are 3 new emails and you read 1 and then have to go do something else. It will still show you there are 2 unread emails when you get back.

It just seems much more efficient to me to do everything from this screen. I also turn off many notifications so there aren't so many to go through here too. Many people here seem to turn off more and more notifications or find some other way to streamline them when they get too many followers and just can't keep up.

I also wait and refollow followers in batches. I can't do it one at a time anymore.

Hi Mike, there is no doubt about it..it is a struggle. Do what you need to do to keep moving forward towards your dreams..but try not to beat yourself up too much when you don't seem to be getting everything done that you had hoped for. You will get there buddy :)

Wow! Way to go on working a crazy schedule in an effort to
"come home" full-time!

It’s tough to fit everything but well worth it. I think many of us feel what you have expressed so well.

Keep balancing until you are where you need to be. I need to go dim for the next couple weeks since I will be on the road again and need to do some heavy lifting at the 9 to 5. Best of luck to you. Jay

You can investigate financial copywriting and carry it with you Mike!
