Balancing home, family, work and the Affiliate Project
After Gary’s great post about how he spends his day I am going to do the same so you can get another perspective on how a part time affiliate spends their day. This is how most week days are spent at the moment. It is a busy day, fitting in a full time job, spending time with the family (which is my favourite part of the day) and putting in some quality hours for affiliate project work. Like Gary I have a young family and that is the most important thing for me.
06.00 – Alarm goes off and I try and see if I can get at least 2 snoozes in before getting up and getting ready for work and sneaking out of the house trying not to wake anyone else up.
06.20 – Pickup lunch made the night before, running kit and laptop and head for work.
06:45 – Arrive at work, grab a shower and get ready to start the working day in my full time job at 7am.
07:00 – Start work on full time job and work through to lunchtime taking the occasional break.
13:00 – Break for a lunchtime run and shower. Usually run between 4.5 and 6 miles. I like to keep fit as well and this does help the concentration levels so run most weekdays.
14:00 – Return from lunchtime run and continue work.
15:30 – Leave work and have 25 minute drive home.
16:00 – Walk in the door to be greeted by my wonderful family. Time to catch up on what they have been doing for the day and relax and spend time with them, have dinner and then think about bed time for the kids.
18:30 – My wife and I take it in turns to bath the kids, read them stories and put them to bed. One night it will be my turn to do my 2 boys (twins), the next it will be my turn to do my daughter.
19:30 – Finish bed time routine, now time to clear up the house and make lunches for the next day for myself and my daughter who is at school. I normally clear up while my wife makes lunches.
20:30 – Start-up Laptop and carry on with Affiliate projects. This normally involves checking emails, site design and content writing. Try not to get too distracted with the T.V. that will be on. Try to focus on good quality work rather than checking accounts and other blog posts too much.
22.30 – 23:00 – Shutdown for the night and try and have half hour to chill out. Normally try and read a book but usually only manage a few pages before falling asleep to get some well earned rest.
This is my routine for most weekdays, although there is room for the odd night out and I also spend some evenings away from the project with my wife, maybe having a takeaway or just chilling out. I actually really enjoy the affiliate work and with a long term goal to work towards don’t mind putting in the hours. I also try and have a couple of nights off a week.
