Balancing act: Selling art online

Lately, I’ve found myself trolling the web for information on opening an online store.  Scads of articles and reviews have been voraciously devoured and discussed with the Hubs.  Notes have been taken and ideas have bloomed.

Some of those ideas have been tossed in the trash…others have stuck around to be further considered.

The one thing I keep coming back to is this….

How do I balance this new endeavor with the precious tasks of being a wife and mommy?  Time management has never come easy for me.  I’m constantly in awe of people who seem to be able to fit everything into their days.

When you have a toddler, sometimes schedules are re-written…or completely erased!  The idea of sending E-man to daycare just isn’t something I’m willing to consider right now.  Some would say I’m abnormally picky about who takes care of my children.  They’d be right.  I have my reasons.

So my challenge it this:  To Find Balance

Something that a lot of us are trying to accomplish, right?

I’m open to any tips or ideas that y’all have to share…on the online shop or the balancing act!

Blessings,

    Oh, I wish I had the answer to this. How much money would I make if I could bottle the answer to the balance question!

    This seems simplistic, but I read a good tip the other day. List the things you now do and what you plan and hope to do. Then just prioritize. If you had to give up one, what would it be? Mark it off the list. And so forth…

    Don’t know if that helps, but I’ll be checking back to see if anyone has great tips!

      You’d make scads of dough, honey, if you had an answer to that question! After all, isn’t that what so many of us are seeking?

      Sometimes the simplest tips are the best…and this one’s a goodie. I have a list-maker’s heart and this idea speaks to me and my “process”.

      Thanks so much, Laura!!
