I heard about this deal and purchased it this week. http://www.smockityfrocks.com/2013/04/ultimate-homemaking-ebook-bundle-on-sale-now.html
I was reading about managing time and thinking about what I really want to accomplish in a day. Was I doing things that didn't matter all that much in the long run? My time is getting thinner with more kids and getting back to gluten free diet. I begin Charlotte Mason in August. It is an ideal method for what my kids need right now but it requires more time. I would also like to take some education college courses at some point to help me learn more about how to effectively teach.
In evaluating priorities, several things didn't make the cut. Twitter feels frivolous when Facebook works just as well for me. Instagram is unused most of the time so deleted that. Several games like Words with friends and Candy Crush Saga were cut.
Things that don't add value like watching tv are added to things that do like folding clothes or stitching at the same time.
So does blogging make the cut? Do I enjoy it? In my times of hyper-focus, yes! But sometimes, it is just a painful reminder of how far I have to go in becoming the consistent person that I want to be. Does it add value? I don't reach that many readers. It doesn't bring in income. In nearly five yrs of blogging sporadically, I've yet to make enough to cash out.
So blogging is cut. Gonna use lists and planners to make and track goals. Maybe someday, my life will be a little less hectic and I will have some e books born out of time, experience and my moments of hyper-focus. I have a lot of work to do in becoming the follower of Jesus Christ, mom and home-manager that I need to be. Freeing up time and energy to reach those goals.
