And work. Gotta throw in some time at the office, too. Unfortunately.24 hours a day minus 6 for sleep and 1 for eating and ablutions = 17 hours.
Where's the problem?
Sorry to hear that.Need advice from you, guys. I can't seem to manage my time efficiently when running websites. It just consumes me. Day after day can get exhausting. I am about to call it quits. How do you handle the impact it has on your normal life?
I have a couple of friends helping me out. No matter to what degree I delegate day-to-day tasks, I am still consumed by pms, requests, legal letters, etc. I feel like a male-office-secretary-in-chief. Thanks for the advice though.
I confess I do that kind of work but I do not like to promote it here as it has its disadvantages as a portrait of me. Sometimes it's useful if requested.Wow....Morgain, you need to publish a self-improvement book or something. Awesome tips.
I know the feeling, and unfortunately I let it get to me all too often (even now I am still prone to it, although not as much as a few years ago). Morgain's post hits a grand slam.
As my first two cents, I submit that the word "webmaster" is a little loaded. To me, it has a slightly negative connotation, feels more like a label that means I'm supposed or expected to be the master of all things (or at least all things web). I'm obviously not. I like to think of my role as more like a leader, or a ship's captain. I steer the ship, and like to take a walk to speak with the passengers, but there are a lot of very capable crew running around it making sure the hatches are battened down, the passengers are fed and cared for, and that the captain isn't losing sleep over it and steering the ship into a rock.
The best way I've found to find time for it is to make time for other things. One must achieve balance with the force. Don't take time from your other activities or you won't want to do it at all anymore (as you are starting to feel).
... a walk, jog, or run.
