How I manage my time being a full-time mom and a writer here on read.

The struggle is real, isn't it? Who here stays longer at night just to be online here on read and noise? Raise your hands. Those who are only free when the babies are asleep or with their daddies and nannies? Say, amen. Amen!

Since I became active here on read again, I've been through a lot of challenges. Sometimes I'd be annoyed when my kid cries upon finding out I am not beside her when she's teething, or she just feels like it. Power tripping, lol. And of course, the kids come first so I always seize the moment whenever I have the chance to engage in the community after I publish my article. I am not so good at time management but sir Ed's freewriting tips helped me a lot, thank you.

How did sir Ed's tips help me out with being a mom and a writer here on read?

I use my phone's memo app whenever something crosses my mind, whatever topic it is. Then when Saoirse's playing and I am done with noise, I try to write the title and begin the topic. I am not pressuring myself to finish it in one sitting. In fact, I have several titles on my memo, some were finished and I give it a "feel" whether or not Rusty and my audience will like it. If I like it, I send it to my email and put it on my drafts on read.

Then I go on with my chores as per normal. The "Eureka" moments were usually giving me great topics so I try to remember or write them right away. Just like this article that I am doing now. It just crossed my mind. If you're familiar with the topic, you're comfortable with what you're talking about, the words will just flow smoothly from your head. You don't have to try hard. Just relax.

And I'll tell you a secret. Say this on your mind, "I am receptive, I need an inspiration, a topic for my article on read. Thank you, thank you, thank you". You will be surprised that the Universe will give you what you're asking for after a few seconds, minutes, or within the day. Please write it or don't forget it. It will be given to others if you will not give importance to its grace.

My technique might not work for you, but it does for me. I save a lot of time and I am getting better at writing. Sometimes, I already have a topic for the next day and so forth. Who doesn't want that? When my babies are outside or when Saoirse is busy playing on the table, I stay here on read for a few minutes to upvote and comment. And I still have some spare time to enjoy the outdoors with my kids. I am happy that I am able to do what I love! Just like today, we went outside for a walk and I bought ice cream for my girls. And I am grateful that at the same time, my earnings here are increasing.

I think God has answered my prayers!

I hope I shared something relevant to you today, my friends. December is coming and I hope November has been good to you.

Too-da-loo,

You have a good technique and you don't stop writing, I was absent for a few days and it was impossible for me to write, although I had some time, I couldn't make it. I like your technique, let's see if I can apply it.

It's really hard to work with children specially with little children , I can somehow relate with you as I'm a student so first of all I have to give most of my time on studies and then on other works. Have a good day

I can imagine how hard it is to write articles with young children, the title of your article made me smile, I mean the number of words😁You do it well: the themes correspond to what is printed, and it is clear that written from the heart, so your articles are easy to read.Good girl👏

The title is the hardest for me. I first write the text of the article, work it out, and finally come up with the title 😊

Coping with kids and read cash is a real struggle. Although read cash is important but the kids are more important since there came around before your business. You just have to endure the challenges.
