Time is of The Essence
Finding time to get things done is still an issue with me! I am getting better at it, and my wife understands enough to allow me to focus on my online business. All said and done; Jip is a star when it comes to patients and understanding.
Taking the day-job out of the equation, as there is little I can do about that at the moment, so that still steals 8 to 10 hours of my day. It just leaves me to balance my online business and home-life.
More and more, I am finding ways to operate my business on the go. By this, I mean using a mobile device. It may sound horrendous to some, but I have proved to myself it can be done. I am building a collection of mobile apps that makes my life easier.
My last WA blog post was completed and published, from start to finish on my iPhone! And that included the cover image.
Doing things this way has a surprising side-effect, I am less stressed! Being mobile works hand in glove with my busy schedule. I'm now 1,000 words into my next Bootcamp blog post.

I have not used 'TextSpeak'. I am learning to get to grips with Dragon Naturally. It's not cheap, but the plan is that it will pay for itself. Once, I have either proved or disproved its usefulness; I'll then decide whether to switch from monthly to a yearly subscription or cancel it altogether.
I'll keep you posted on the success or failure of that in a later blog.
It's just the writing. Like, Dave, I suffer from 'Fat-finger' syndrome. So either I use a Bluetooth folding keyboard or dictation.
I steal minutes and do a lot on my phone and iPad. Then I get up an hour earlier and write when the children go to bed. Luckily my husband is supportive and wants me to succeed as much as I do!
Sounds like you have the drive and the right attitude to make a great success! Wishing you all the best!
