ROIT=Return on invested time

If you read my last post getting everything organized this is the next step. Most people have their calendar packed every day of the week. I used to be that way and some weeks it happens. If you have this every week it can spread you too thin and then you are not good for anyone or yourself. Now look at everything and if it is not giving you financial, mentally, or physically some kind of reward it needs to go.  Financial we will start with that. Most blogs and posts you do should be bringing in some kind of money. There are many ways to do that and with a little research you can find what works for you. Some like direct sale, some like affiliate marketing, some just post for brands and get free product. Whatever that looks for you will be different from the next person. The next part is mentally this is a big one and if it doesn't make you feel good. So if you dread doing this part. Get rid of it. Life is short and why should you be unhappy. Most just suck it up and do it but that is not me. Don't do that to yourself because when you get grumpy everyone around you knows it also and then everyone is not mentally in a good place. This can also begin the breakdown of a family. The last one is physical. This means doctor appointments you have to do that even though it is not fun. What I mean by this and when I explain it there will be either you have the friend or even yourself that does this. Sticking you kids in 3 different sports at the same time. Yes straight out kids are overweight these days but that is more of needed to have better food choices (begins at home) and just need at little as 30 mins of exercise a day and will see a huge difference in your child. Have your child(ren) choose one sport to play and even with different aged children in your family it can still be hard but more manageable then having 3 kids each in 3 different sports. Parents sometimes over do it. It is still not okay even if you have one child. Take your kids to the park for 30 mins while you work on your phone (depending on age of the child). My children are old enough that they can play and I don't have to worry about them walking off but still not old enough to go to the park by themselves. I just bring my computer or notebook and turn my phone into a personal hotspot. They get their exercise and I get my work done. Looking at a new way to get the same results is better then running everyone down. Since I live in a colder climate that going outside in fall and winter is not a option sometimes. You can get a wii most pawn shops have for like $30 then get just dance for the wii there are so many out there and so much fun for the family. They also for those that like zumba there are games. With dancing you are getting a great workout and having fun. Plus you didn't have to go to the gym or to sports to get just as good of a workout if not better. There are so many options out there so that you don't have to be on the road for hours a day getting run down. What works for my family might not work for yours but these are options. If you google you can find hours of fun for free up to the whatever you decided to spend. If as a homeschooler you are looking for options there are indoor play places and indoor play parks all over the country that are great options to get all kinds of kids together. Cleaning up your schedule will give you more time to focus on your home and relationships with your significant other and your children. We have worked on different ideas and the kids love family game night which we try to do every Friday. The kids like making fun of us adults by playing Brain Quest Smart Game (aff) which is on sale right now for $15.10 (reg $24.99) and they have fun when even us adults sometimes can't get the right answer. There are many other brain board games out there that can be so much fun for a family. Taking down some the amount that is done might take a family meeting and will be well worth it in the end. So time to go review what needs to go and ways to change what you are doing now to be positive in your life. If you need any other ideas please comment and can help find you ways to make things better for you. Have a great day all.
