Ask Nancy: Managing Time

31 August 2009

Hi Nancy Hard not to notice that you have a full time career plus you have a blog, you post on twitter, facebook, and contribute to other blogs. How do you do this? Do you not sleep? Tired but Inspired Floral Friend

Tired,
Thanks for the frank question. Don't worry, I'm tired a lot! Just ask my husband, Kevin Chin! Recently I posted on my facebook page that I was sleep deprived. I know that I'm just not alone in this. And though it seems like I juggle a lot, I have a great team who helps!

I think what you are wondering is how do I manage being part of the social "network" world plus have a life, career, and business.

Honestly, if you want something bad enough, you will make the time to do all that needs to be done to achieve your goal. That's really it.

I write posts several times a week and actually put it on my google calendar. To me, it's part of my job. With the invention of the iPhone, facebook and twitter is quite manageable.

More importantly, you have to do what you have to do in this environment. I don't think everyone needs to twitter, FB, or blog. But to me, it's fun actually. I've met so many new people through social networking and I could keep up with my circle of friends, family, and work buddies without it.

Bottom line: Have a goal, make a plan, and do all that is necessary to achieve those. Don't feel that you have to join what others do. Do what works for you without hurting your home life!
