Dont find the time, Create it!
I have just recently joined the WA community and the first few days have been nothing but great. Everyone here has just been welcoming and offering so much help. I have learned so much already and have finally found what I have been looking for, a platform to enable me to go further along my journey to financial freedom.
In the first few days I was so eager to get started into the training. I wrote a plan of what I wanted to acheive each day here are WA. I was so excited, full of energy and ready to delve in! However, reality hit me. The other committments I have (working my regular job etc.) really got me doubting my ability to stick to my plan. I find myself saying "I cant find the time right now, maybe later". I started to get disheartened and thought maybe I wouldn't be able to commit to this.
But something was tell me to go back and read my goals particularly about the hours I wanted to and willing to put into this and then I realized that I cannot give up. I came here for a reason and if I cant find the time, I need to create the time!! I realised that if I kept waiting on "finding the time" I would never find it because we are always just so busy.
Now I make sure I set more realistic targets for myself that are suited to my own current lifestyle. Sometimes its easier to start small and slowly. This is even more effective in both our learning and development (at least I believe so!). I make sure I create the time no matter how little each day as this is something I have a passion for and I should'nt let the hustle and bustle of the day pull me back.
What point am I trying to get across? Well to all the newbies out there, its okay to get disheartened especially when it seems we have so much going on in our personal and professional lives. We can all feel less motivated at times especially when drained from all the other things in our lives that we put energy into. But always remember the goals you shared on the first day here at WA and use that to motivate yourself each and everyday. Work at your own pace and remember theres a community here at WA to support and motivate you along the way too.
Keep on going! I know I will.

Really good point Tosin. It's always easy to say "I didn't have the time" but in fact, we should say "I didn't take the time". That's how it goes for me for a couple of years now.
I say to myself "Stop saying you don't have the time but take the time for it. If it's really important, you'll always find time for it."
I think you got it right and it's important to stay realistic with our goals. Life is always there to bring us back on track!
Welcome at WA and keep going! I'm sure you're doing great 🤗

Congratulations on your first blog. Well done.
My view on time is you cannot control it. It ticks away regardless of what you do. No one has more and you cannot add more time.
To do more with your time, you have to choose to do what is important and spend LESS time on everything else.
hmm I guess it all about planning and organisation. Thanks for your contribution to the topic!
