My current work schedule is a bit better, will describe below, but still a lot. I come home around 5:30-6 and then I begin immediately my blog(s) work until dinner then afterwards. I work for around 2 hours each night on my blog either cruising and engaging on social media, writing posts, reading, and doing research into how to do it better. Recently I have dived into a bit of paid advertisement for it as well to better promote my content and strategic times.
Recently something I did was that once I hit my goal/landmark I stop reading. I can still read if I want after, but I don’t force myself to spend all my free time, what little bit I have left, to do reading. I let it come more naturally. Plus I read the amount I need on the commute (20% of my book at least). So then any reading I do at night is for fun.
The work is fulfilling and I enjoy doing it. I am surrounded by creativity, I get to be creative when I take my photos and I get to read and write. So If I could do that only, that would be dreamlike. But I also have a job.
I am, baby step wise, getting better, but slowly, very very slowly!
Hope you had a nice Christmas and took time off. Sounds like you’re working very hard.
Take time to be a newlywed.
Love, Grandma
