Thanks Erin. It’s rather easy. I just don’t sleep. I think that is part of the reason I got sick this weekend. I run on adrenaline doing this stuff because I enjoy it so much. But honestly, I don’t organize my time and focus as well as I should. I have a lot to do on my to do list and it keeps getting longer. I am not sure I will ever get a writer’s retreat but it is a reminder to organize and focus. I spend as much if not more time doing than I do my job and it’s all out of a passion and love for doing so!

You are still doing far better than I can hope to! LOL I started to make a small dent in the things I needed to do and then poof – travel time started and I am finding it extremely hard to keep up with the paying assignments I have, let alone touch any of my blogs. I find myself thankful for a 10 hour flight as it is the only time I can get to write these days.

I am always impressed with your ability to prioritize and manage your time, with two little ones and a full-time job. You are quite an inspiration to us all!

Keep up the good work!

Thanks Beverly! Yes, I do get behind and distracted and sometimes just not motivated. Some of the distractions are a good thing (like family) and some of it is just not organizing my time better. Yes, a writer’s retreat would be a great thing for me. However, the lesson learned here is how I need to have the focus and organization every day (or most days) rather than feeling like I need a retreat to get everything done.

Thanks Adam! Your post got me thinking and admiring your bravery! Keep it going! Also, I love the finance and budget side of stuff as well so another thing we have in common!

I can definitely relate to your juggling act! I am constantly fine-tuning and organizing to balance writing/blogging, family, travel and for me, cycling. Somehow it (usually) all gets done, but you are right about needing to stay focused. Good luck! – Beverly
