Balancing Life and Work
May 20th, 2009 by Talya Bosco
My part time job has recently moved into a full time plus position temporarily and I realize that I have really horrible time budgeting skills. Now, this job really is taking over 80 hours a week, but I should still be able to squeeze some writing time in. But I haven’t. That tells me that A- I need to write something different. Or B – I really need to manage my time better and make time for writing.
It is hard enough to get others in the world to view those of us that write at home as having a serious occupation. As really working even though it looks like we aren’t doing anything. When I don’t treat it serious enough, then there really is an issue there.
I am going away for a few days with the hubby, and when I get back the full time aspect of my job will be over. So even though I haven’t managed to learn better skills, I will still have extra time.
That either makes me really lucky or still in need of a wake up call. 
I’m amazed at the writers who become successful authors with five small children at home, full-time jobs and a house to clean, or who take care of a sick, elderly parent. Determination must be the key. Good luck!
