Over the summer I barely had time to breath, let alone make money. There was vacations, Army prep for my husband, multiple trips to the DFW airport (which is 2 hours away), karate lessons for the kids...
Here's my schedule now:
- 6:30 a.m.- Wake up
- 7ish- Take the kids to school
- 7:30 a.m.- Exercise
- 8 a.m.- Get ready for the day
- 9 a.m.- Check emails and residual income
- 10 a.m.- Write
- 3:30 a.m.- Work day done
Are you a frazzled mom loving you some school time or are you still in the trenches?
You know the number one thing that helped me stay organized when I was starting out as a freelance writer? The free newsletter and calendar from The Organized Writer site. I would print out the calendar and keep it in a binder.
Today I use a notebook-sized day planner and a legal pad to organize my writing projects and business to-do list. How do you stay organized as a writer?
You are soooo lucky! We made the decision this year to homeschool our kids (long story) and wow, finding time to write and work is certainly a challenge for me. I've been getting up as early as I can to have at least an hour before the kids get up ... it is hard though. I'm staying organized by lining up my to-do list first thing every morning and sticking to it, only checking email twice a day and earning reports once a week.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could just check my emails twice a day. I'm trying to work on it, but it's soooo hard!
