Time

I've started listening to the flipped lifestyle podcast. Their situation is very similar to mine. They were both teachers when they started their online businesses, parents of two young children, and they started the business in the subject areas in which they taught or coached. 

They make a lot of solid points about the way that they got started. The first podcast was just an introduction. The second podcast talked about all the different ways to make money online. The third podcast talked about setting goals. And the fourth podcast, which I'm listening to right now, is talking about the time factor.

"I don't have time"

The phrase said all too often. One thing that I've been hearing a lot from all the moms who are featured on the brilliant business moms podcast is that there is no such thing as "not having time."

"We all have the same amount of time, it's just a matter of how we spend it."

I thought about this in the past, and it really is true; no matter how much I might want to deny it. "I have kids," is not an excuse for not doing other important things in your life.  

The time is there you just need to find it. This is not to say that spending time with my kids is not important to me, but there are times when I waste precious minutes with frivolous things. A TV show here, Comfort eating there. I may not be able to carve out a whole work week, but an hour or two would certainly help. 

I like the idea of documenting my time every day for a week, but that could be difficult. Do I document every minute?
