I received this new task so I have to make another schedule and balancing again of my offline work here plus this online making extra cash. As I said I get to balance my work from my personal life, yet sometimes I fail to do it. How about you there? would you just accept the task, even if you have lot to do? Or refuse to accept it!? The good thing is, my boss told me he is going to increase or adjust my daily salary so I grabbed it, what I have to do now is balancing! Another balancing... And in the first place I really long to have an additional money for plans in life. And I am happy that my love always understand of what I am doing right now. Thank you my B! How about you guys? Did you use all your time for money making? Or using all your hours worthwhile? Please share. Prime Tomas electrical

hi primeaque86, As much as possible I would like to always have a balance for everything. I want to have an equal attention to my work, study, family, friends and to my boyfriend. However, I cannot make it. My time always go with my job. I am the only one working in our family. Both of my parents are old already and they cannot work much. My sister is still studying as a college student and still cannot help me with money matters. That is why I love my job and take good care of it because if I cannot, it will be so difficult to each one of us. I am a teacher and this profession is very tasky. My role is not only to teach my subject but to guide and assist my students as well. I play multiple roles on their lives. I can be a mom, sister, preacher, lawyer, doctor--almost everything. Right now, I want to have a job online to add to my earnings. Although I prioritize my teachings, I still love to work online and receive money on my paypal account. It seems like I am just saving money in my bank. I study also and it is really difficult to do two things at the same time. Thanks God that I have a wonderful family and understanding boyfriend as well.

Thank you for sharing my friend. It is hard to be a bread winner. Though i am not a bread winner to my family this time, but i am always thinking about them, and specially that my two sisters are still in high school. We need to work for a decent living, and doing this thing needs a good scheme because we have our personal life also behind of it... And we could not just ignore, we are working for it in the first place. So good schedule is the best thing to have. You are right, we are just like saving here and we will this would help us in due time... Wish you luck and all the best...

Primeaque, nice to meet you. This is a very wonderful discussion. I feel like I can relate to you in almost every aspect that is discussed above. I want to earn a lot, I want to make a lot of money online. I want to become financially independent. I want to be rich like Ashley Qualls, Yaro Starak and Michael Dunlop. But sometimes I look at my life, my family and my duties. I am a work at home mom and the baby's father lives in another town (miles away). I think I have to be a dad and mom at the same time. There are times when I wish I can write more articles and try my luck at affiliate marketing, but then I look at my home, my baby and my duties. I think he needs me more than my online efforts. I can give only one hour or an hour and an half to my online career. I know I cannot make millions with this one hour a day, but a little legit extra cash is always appreciated and even if i get some extra task at odesk or freelancer.com, I decline it because I am happy with lees money as far as my family is happy. I have balanced my life and try to keep a good balance giving time to baby, housework, religion and internet income. I will not take more tasks otherwise the balance will get disturbed and will make me stressful and irritable. I think the key to happiness is contentment.

Thank you for discussing with my friend, i feel honored. I am grateful for you honest response. Yes, there is really a part of us who longs for a big fortune... That is why we try to search for it... And having all that is hard, we fail most of the times, we feel disappointments, frustrations... And we try to do so once again, but unknowingly, the balance between seeking this fortune and our personal life is destructed... Change or something, and we often forgets we have important people waiting for our attention... You are right there, the key to happiness is contentment. I am happy with my life now, though i accept another assignment, it doesnt mean i am not contented, i just have too for the company i work for... Thank you and happy lotting.

I am very glad to say that it's my vaction leave until sunday,so this time i don't have to balance my time.From time to time, i will just be here in mylot and post discussions.but when i am back at work,i am very seldom log in here especially i do not have my own laptop,i am just usinng my cousin's laptop.i hope i can buy my own soon.because it is actually really hard. balancing is really very important,another one is also classification from simple to difficult activity.with me,i focus first with the simple ones.once i'm done with simple things, i focus and give much time with difficult activities.it's glad hear that your salary has increase,i am also looking forward for an increase.

Not yet, he said he will adjust, I am expecting for it the early 2011 my friend. I am glad that you got your vacation. I have no laptop as well, I just using my pc at work like now, when I have the emoticons then I am using the pc at work... or using my handset during the nights or early morning, I am used to it though so I can lot easily. For now, before I go to work, I see to it that I have my schedule for the day then I have to finish it, I made a focus on one thing to put concentration... then after that I can breath and have some talk here.

i try to. i will set my priorities and if i know i have more stuff to do that is on the higher list then i will surely refuse. i resigned in my job because i am investing into my graduate study while processing my visa. finally i got what i want and need and i dont regret. there are many other ways to earn money anyway.

I am very happy that you got what you want. In everything we choose to do or have, there is this opportunity cost, you are trying to get away with one opportunity by the things you think has higher value on it... You quit your job for that higher opportunity., then you are successful eventually, i am glad for you my friend, so far i am happy what i am doing now, although its hard... The best thing to do is do our best...
