Jennie, I will try to address some of that. I think my husband is close to thinking the same thing. Except for the “taking away the computer” part. He knows he wouldn’t get away with that.

It sounds like you need help with prioritizing and judging how much time you’re actually committing to things. If you want to email me, we’ll see if we can come up with something more to help you a little. Maybe you can tell me a bit about your typical day?

apparently I am very bad at over-scheduling. my husband says I overwork. personally I probably wouldn’t have noticed anything but it’s getting to the stage where he’s threatening to take away my computer! (help!) my doctor fully sanctions this – apparently I have stress problems… so if you learn how to get us crazy, stressy at home workaholics to relax I’m all ears!

That’s the thing with work online – it can be done 24/7! Sure, more work = more money, but does your work start to suffer at some point?

I’m definitely working on the balance issue. This week it’s especially bad because I’ll be out of town for 4 days to attend BlogHer.

I am terrible about overscheduling! Because of the nature of my business (online selling), the opportunity to make money is unlimited. I am driven to work more because that means more money. However, there has to be a cut-off point where enough is enough for one day. The true sign of an entrepreneur is having more ideas than time! We just have to learn to balance that with everything else in our lives.

Thanks for the post!
