Earning Money Online and Why I’ve Been MIA
21 Aug
I’m going to get personal here for a minute. I don’t know that anyone reads this blog (yet?), but if you do happen upon it, I do want it to be a useful resource for you. And because I haven’t posted lately, it can’t be all that useful. Hence, I’m going to try my best to update two or three times a week with online jobs and ways to make money online. Because for those of you hoping to work from home (especially parents), it really is possible.
With that said, here’s the personal part of the post. I have one son. He just turned two, and he is a handful. I can’t work when he’s around (believe me, I’ve tried!), so I have to do it while he sleeps.
The problem is, my boy gets so wound up during the day that he won’t nap anymore. And even without a nap, he won’t go to bed at least until 8pm, but usually more like 9pm or later. I am absolutely frazzled by the end of the day, not to mention sleepy. Let me tell you now: not much work has been happening for me.
To complicate things further, I have dealt with depression on and off my entire life. Right now, it’s more on than off. And when I’m depressed, I don’t have the energy or desire to do anything, including working, and including blogging. This is problematic, because I’m the main wage earner right now, and also the main caregiver for my son. (And that’s probably part of why I’m depressed – I’m pulled in quite a few directions right now). I need to earn money.
A new friend on twitter mentioned that she gets up at 5am to work (she writes, like I do). Now, I’m not sure that waking at 5am would work for me, but it’s something that got me thinking. I need to go to bed earlier. If I got more sleep, I’d be less depressed. I would also feel more able to get work done after my son goes to bed. This is a good thing. The only question is: why do I stay up too late every night when I’m not accomplishing anything?!
Who knows. But I’m changing things as of right now. I’m going to get more sleep. And once I have a handle on that, I’m going to exercise regularly. And in the meantime, I’m going to post regularly here and on my other niche blogs. Because I want to help others work from home. And because passive income is my ultimate goal.
