This is the final article in our blogging series. I hope that you are enjoying your adventures in blogging and finding a good routine. I know that my biggest struggle with blogging is balancing my time between my blog and my family time.

The reason I have decided to be home is so I can be with my kids. Sometimes I find myself spending too much time on the computer and not enough time with my kids. There is definitely a difference between being home with the kids and spending time with them. I want to make sure that I always have a good balance of blogging and quality time with the family.

The best way for me to keep this balance is by having a schedule and goals. I have my certain times of the day that I work on my blog. First thing in the morning I try to go through my e-mails. Then while the kids eat breakfast & lunch I work on getting my daily posts up. Then while Emma is at school and Jonathan is napping I work on articles that need more concentration. I also have a daily goal of the posts I need to get published everyday. Once I get those done I turn my attention to things around the house. If I find some down time after that, then I will turn my attention back to my blog.

One thing that I have found out is that I will never get everything I to do accomplished. It is just impossible. I used to get overwhelmed trying to keep up with all the other blogs and post every deal that comes my way. This just drove me crazy! There is no way that I can do that and it is a sure way of burning out by trying. So now I just pick and choose what to post with the time I have.

The best advice I can give is to write down your goals and make a schedule and stick to it as best as you can. You will have to revise it as you go. Also keep a note book to jot down ideas you may have during the day. This way, when you are sitting down to blog you know what needs to get done and you will be more productive.

This Weeks Homework

~ Make a blogging schedule and a list of goal for the things you want to accomplish each day.
