Hi Lydia,

Thanks for your comment! You know, I can only imagine the amount of
balancing that goes on with 2 young kids, a full time job and two projects.
I have a hard enough time balancing my full time job, this website, and my
hobbies

And well, the one "kid" I have to take care of (me!)

Hi Sid, This is a very interesting and thought provoking article for me. I work full time, am a mother of 2 young kids (2 & 4yrs), and have 2 entrepreneurial “projects” on the side. To try to fit it all in I have established a routine where I work on my “projects” after the kids go to bed. And I start my workday at the office at 7am so that I can be home by 4:30pm so I can spend time with my children. I certainly agree that I am most productive a hour after I wake up (6am). Thus, I may have to try your suggestion somehow … I will have to sleep on it.

Thanks, Lydia

Hi Tony,
Getting up early isn't easy ;) I'm not always consistent about it myself,
though I do try to be.

Thanks also for your comment. I am glad you've enjoyed what you've read so
far - I try really hard to only publish quality articles, and it means a lot
to me that you've enjoyed them. I very much appreciate your kind words.

Try out RescueTime, and feel free to let me know how it goes for you =). I
love it - so simple, I don't have to worry about it - it just works!

I hate the mornings :/ though this article really makes me reconsider my choices. I feel I am not doing enough in life for me to be as productive as I would like to be. I will have to seriously consider this now. Thanks! First time finding your blog but I have already REALLY enjoyed 4 of your posts. Thanks for pointing me to RescueTime!
