Overwhelmed vs Focus
Hello,
I am a wealthy affiliate member since February 2018. I'm the newbie. I joined because I want to work for myself, I know the online world is booming and is lucrative and profitable and also ... how else can you reach that many people in such a short time and at a low cost?
All that being said:
Am I the only one who does not want to miss out on anything, but in the end, am not focusing on what needs to be done?
How do you deal with a multitude of emails? a multitude of training videos?
Do you use a calendar?
Do you use goal setting?
What are your daily tasks?
How do you manage your personal care, your children, your household, work, socializing? Is there such a thing as being balanced all of the time? Priorities, which ones should be on top of my list?
Through most of my life I've noticed myself arriving at the same result and that was; having a sense of confusion. Why do I choose this path? What does confusion bring me?
This is where I am at ... again!
This brought me to writing this blog this morning. I do not want to put a damper on things, but I am certain I am not the only one in this situation and secondly, I do want to learn to focus, to live in clarity and this can bring me success.
Resources online are endless it seems. It is bringing me a sense of being overwhelmed.
I am at a crossroad in my life career wise; I do know that I want to work for myself, I want to have the freedom to live on my own terms. THAT ... I am clear on! Where I can't decide is HOW I can achieve it and in the meantime still live, pay the bills, support my family. My interests and skills are in wellness, environment, creation, resourcefulness, crafting, decor, organizing work, using imagination. I am certain I can develop a website and teach, support, bring value to my followers. THAT, I am certain of as well.
I want to say thank you to those who took the time to read this short blog. I feel a little bit nervous about posting this, letting you see some of my vulnerabilities, but if I can't go there, I can't continue to learn and grow. Thank you if you have pointers or suggestions, I will consider every one of them and secondly, as I mentioned, if anyone else is in this boat, may be this is a call to connect and support eachother in this new adventure!
Until then, enjoy your day,
Much success to all of you
Renee

hi Renee,
I feel you and your uncertainty because I am in a similar boat.
This is the first place online I found that made sense to me and which has endless opportunities. I just started as well and I can't wait to learn and grow every day.
I don't have a structure yet, one thing I do is I wake up earlier than everyone else, I do my morning rituals, after I sit down and work for couple of hours. During the day when the kids are sleep I do more work.
Support is everything, sometimes when I get overwhelmed I will ask to my mom or my hubby to watch the kids for a little bit so I can take care of myself.
Will keep you posted when and If I get a concrete schedule for me :)
Good Luck, you can do it, just follow your heart and passion.

Right now you are being overwhelmed with a huge amount of information all coming at you at once. I call it "drinking from a fire hose."
It's okay if it makes you want to take a step back and absorb before taking on more.
One of these days the pieces will all start fitting together as a foundation and you'll use the new information to start building on that. You are learning not only new information but new skills too. Discipline will be the key to success. Planning will help you through it all too.
You can do this!
