The Big Question: How do I juggle having a Full time Job and Wealthy Affiliate at the same time?
I have been trying to manage having a full time job and being on wealthy affiliate and honestly it has been very difficult.
I work at a flu shot clinic, my hours are 9 am - 5 pm from Mondays to Fridays. I am also going through a certified training at work for a higher position. The training lasts about 3 hours after work and so I do not get home until 8:30pm.
Additionally, I noticed that after work, I am so exhausted that I just want to curl up in bed. When I get home of course there are several chores pilled up for me to do. Most times, I really do not get to finish the chores until saturday and sunday.
Frankly, this have started to affect my website posts and my activity at wealthy affiliate. I do not know what to do. I have been a wealthy affiliate for less than a month but I have not achieved much here. I need your help.
The Big Question
So friends, the big question is how do I juggle having a full time job and all its responsibilities and being a wealthy affiliate at the same time.
I could really use tips and advice. Has anyone ever done this before? If so, how did they manage? Is anyone going through this now? what works?
This is a difficult time for me so all tips, advice and tricks are welcome. Thank you!

It helps to turn work off (unplug completely) when you leave the workplace and to schedule your WA tasks. I am an advocate for creating life balance and have many posts on my website (youworktoomuch.com) that may help you unplug from work.
Hi! Pam
Indeed it’s a Big question. It is not easy to have a full time job & training and do WA. but this is how I look at it:
Reading your profile, I am convinced you really want to be successful @ WA. You are on the right track. You have a reason to build your own business.
You still have a full time job and this is the best time to invest in yourself by learning how to building your own online business.
Divide your time so that you still have time to build your business. small steps will still take you get there!
Remind yourself WHY you want to do this.
The most important thing in life is your time and energy.
Make small steps towards your long term goal while you still have the energy.
Wishing you all the best as you continue to do the lessons and build your business.

Hi, Pam.
For me, I will be going through what you are going through now. I am looking for a lower/different level job so that I can have more time for WA.
I have decided not to put in so much time and effort on the 9-5 job. I know that it will eat up my time and my energy too.
Hence, you must decide to choose on one. More time at work or WA?
Probably you are new to the workforce and need to prove yourself. Pardon me.
Of course, the financial may or may not be a concern to you.
It depends on what you want? What do you want?
I may not be able to give you a good answer because you will have your best answer.
Thank you Terand. I am a nurse so I have to put in effort in my work if I don’t it will affect my patients, I can not risk that. But I do understand where you are coming from. thank you for weighing in. Have a great day 😊
You could try outsourcing the content creation. This way you keep the engine running even while you are working and training for certification. Another option is to do a bit of work on your lunch hour if that's possible. Over time, you'd be surprised how much you can get done in fifteen minutes each day. You can also schedule some time on the weekends. Overall, the key is to be consistent even if the number of hours you commit is small. Also, once you the training is complete, those three hours will be yours.
Best Regards,

Hi Pam,have a look at my latest blog about 'time'. I'm not saying it will solve your issue but it might help a little. I've found that even the smallest changes can make a big difference in the long run. I admire your dedication and work ethic. Success will come. Be well.

Your websites look great.
Just stick to them, and find a pace that suites you better.
Once a website runs, it is easier on hands...
Just refining and posts as training goes
Thank you Fleeky for your kind words 😊
