Life can get real busy especially if you have other endeavors a long with your 9-5. I am here to tell you that in order to maintain your sanity while grindin' you need to have balance. The tips that I am going to give you, has helped me with productivity and time management. speaking of which, I have written a blog post a few months back on "productivity" check it out here Productive vs. Busy
Have a To Do List
Trust me, having a to do list is very important. How I do mine is, I set my tasks according to importance(priority). Depending on what I have to do for the day, I would either work on my easier tasks first and tackle the harder ones next but, you can do vice versa.
Set a Day and Time
Working a full-time job and wanting to pursue blogging is hard. Especially if you want to take your blogging to the next level. I still struggle with balancing but, I set dates for writing/editing, and posting a blog. I try to do it on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can't guarantee that I would post it those days, but I make it a priority to try and post twice a week. There are apps that can also schedule your posting dates and times.
Grant Yourself Grace
Do not overwhelm yourself by trying to do everything. Always remember no job is worth messing up your mental health. Your 9-5 is just that...don't come in any earlier or stay any longer. Your blog should be something that makes you happy and not feel overwhelmed.
I hope these small tips will help you guys balance your blog and your full-time job.
Later Love Bugs,
Elizabeth Jacas
