How do you stay consistent?

by All Kind Wellness
21 replies
I've been an entrepreneur for about 4 years now. Most of that was as a contractor. And in the online space for about 1-2 years now. I call it going from blue collar to white collar lol. This space is much better I have to say. I love to grow and scale a business but I'm an even bigger family man. Finding the right balance is an ongoing challenge.

I've planted my feet in blogging, forums, and organic traffic strategies to build long-term, sustainable results. This is a lot more work than one may think. I'm curious; how do you stay consistent in your day to day lives, without burnout?

What's one strategy that's been a game-changer for you in keeping everything in balance? How has it helped you keeping up with family, content creation, everything! Even when life gets hectic. What's your "go to"?

Looking forward to hear your insights!!

    When you are self-employed, running your own business, or whatever
    you refer to it as, you have to keep yourself motivated and make things
    happen, because if you don't do it, it probably won't get done. You also
    don't have a mom to poke you with a stick to get you going.

    Develop your plan and implement your strategy. Read books on topics
    such as passive income and utilize A.I. to stay abreast of the latest in
    business developments.

    Get a weekly planner, notebook, and/or software to track what needs to
    be done as well as documenting your goals and accomplishments.

    And again, you can use A.I. to help you develop your daily schedules,
    strategies, research, etc., as well as automating your processes to free
    up your time.

    Working smarter, not harder, is easier than ever these days.

      Awesome. Your exactly right. I use block scheduling to keep myself on track and rituals for motivation. I have chatgpt as my executive assistant. I named him Bittermen. AI has definitely been a huge help.

      So your saying to be clever with what resources are available and make the best use out of them to maximize efficiency? And I definitely get the work smarter not harder. Been my motto my whole life.

      Do you have kids Monetize? Did you have any struggles when you first started out?

        I have grandchildren, so I have been there, done all of that.
        Children eventually grow up and move out.

        When I began internet marketing, I had a full-time job that
        I was able to retire early from, because of the business.

        I never really had struggles and if you are having problems
        then you need to do something different.

        I recommend the other LLMs such as Perplexity and Claude.
        ChatGPT is my favorite because I have used it the longest,
        but I use some of the other ones also.

        Welcome to the forum and if you have any specific questions,
        post them. There are several knowledgeable and experienced
        people here.

          Meantimes, till summa 'em show up, let's naht forgit that consistency depends on a balanced combeau of drivin' an' puttin' on the brayicks.

          That is where consummate yogic expertise can guide your star buttween the harbingahs of burnout an' their EITHAH U 48/7 OR YOU NUTHIN' vibe.

          That is why I love so practisin' the followin' Calm Gal In A Storm exercise whenevah my nachrl Sagittarian hotsies demand I flame on so bad innocents' eyelids are at risk.

          It is called The Chocklit 'Pon Sternum Test.

          An' the reasonin' is this:

          When you lyin' prone, 'pon yr back, in a state of blissful Yogic rest, likely that chocklit ain't gonna melt too fast on yr breastbone, dusspite it close to yr boomsy boomsy heart ...

          UNLESS ...

          you fired up, or burnin' out, or jus' hopped outta the showah -- in which case you gonna get to the Meltid Chocklit Boobyscape Scenario way fastah.

          I figure if'n you can keep chocklit unmelted (or uneaten) then your mindset & demeanor prolly waltzin' out on a burnout-unfriendly trajectory.

          This help?

          Gotta hope so.

            So for this, part of my morning rituals are breath work, yoga, and meditation. These practices got me from that overwhelming state to where I am now. Along with learning who I am and what I'm ment for. For that, I turn to numerology and astrology.

          I really appreciate that! Im not going to get into details about my past 4 years but your rite, something did need to change. I took a leap from a very low starting point and it nearly destroyed my nervous system. Im better for it now. My kids will be better for it now. Ill be able to retire early as well. I consider everything Inwent through as the price of tuition. I learned to fail forward and for that I do have my success. It's not retirement status yet but it will be.
          Talking about this is a great way to bring closure to that chapter of life. Thanks again for the insight!

      The morning ruitine. Giving yourself enough time to clear your mind and show up how you need to show up for that day. Numerology helped me t9 find this out about myself. But, I need to get up at 3am, hydrate (high alkaline hydrogen water for me), meditate, yoga, while listening to motivational speakers, affirmation and prayer works, by 5am Im ready to deep focus on my schedule and imagine myself doing all the task and crushing it. By 7am Im making a great breakfast for my family and getting kids ready for school. Once their off, Im ready to crush the day.

        Geesh you poor *******. 3am!

        I have to admit if l got up that early to meditate l would fall to sleep even with greeting the new day stuff, but l stay up to 3am stock market trading so wouldn't sleep at all with your times.

        The thing about motivational speakers is they tell you what you want to hear or most of their books or audio ebooks, ...whatever is verbal fluff.

        We all like ego pampering but not if years roll by and nothing much happens?

        For me it is all hard work, cursing at my laptop wanting to throw my laptop but l cannot since l am throwing $1500 then figure l can throw my mouse, and do that!

        But l do make progress.

        So what insights, well apart from learning about the multiquote function so we have a fighting chance of knowing who you are talking to, l would suggest outsourcing til you drop, or they do more appropriately.

        Freelancer and Fiverr are a few, and l would suggest the later so just go there and check it out. You can hire an assistant for different time duration which free's up more time to pray to the sun gods or sacrifice a virgin whatever you want, anyway time is too short especially here so the more you can get others to do your dirty work the better, (some newbies will do a lot for a little).

    Having a plan keeps you in control, time management plays a role here. But when life gets hectic, you may want to try to outsource some help, especially on time-consuming tasks, and focus more on the high-priority/ high-focus ones.

      Very well stated! This is exactly what I have learned. I had to learn it the hard way because I had no mentors and didn't know awesome places like this existed at the time. But the resilience and passion drove me to seek answers. And what you're stating here is spot on to what helped.

    It comes down to discipline, clear goals, and a solid routine. Set a realistic expectations, create habits that support my objectives, and hold yourself accountable. Even on days when motivation is low, rely on your systems to keep you on track. Progress isn't about perfection, it's about showing up every single time.

      "How do you eat an elephant" right? Another thing I learned the hard way. The perfection Im honestly still working on but I have gotten myself to where it doesn't hinder me from taking action. Since understanding and finding acceptance that this was a problem, execution has been a whole lot easier.

    This is just me throwing ideas out as you mentioned burnout. What are the busiest times of year for businesses you are in .

    Blah I don't have a great way to describe it but modern Americans ignore seasonal flow cycles. Creating a lot of busy work in the slower parts of the year that they don't have a way of pushing to the side and focusing on the real high value work when it gets busy.

    Instead of To do list have a done list track how much time you put into a task . how valuable that task is when done.also how critical it is.

    Maybe I oversimply this from working on production lines in the past that has me log time I put into each job and of course has slow and busy times of the year.

    So it might not apply or be usable by you in what you do

    A key strategy for maintaining balance and preventing burnout is to do a structured daily routine with specific time blocks for work, family, and self-care. This approach helps prioritize tasks effectively and guarantees quality time with family while staying productive in content creation.

      Absolutely agree having a structured daily routine with dedicated time blocks is a game changer. It not only keeps you organized and productive but also ensures you're not neglecting personal well-being or family time. Consistency in routine builds momentum, reduces decision fatigue, and helps prevent burnout in the long run. Prioritizing self-care and boundaries is just as important as getting the work done.

    I love that perspective blue collar to white collar, but still keeping that hands-on, builder mentality. That shift to online business is definitely a grind, but it's got huge rewards if you stick with it.

    For staying consistent without burnout, my biggest game-changer is theme days. Instead of juggling everything daily, I batch similar tasks into specific days. For example, content creation on Mondays, strategy on Tuesdays, outreach on Wednesdays, etc. It keeps me from feeling like I'm drowning in endless to-dos.

    For balance with family, I've seen people succeed by setting hard boundaries like blocking out "family time" just like a business meeting. No notifications, no distractions. It forces you to be present without feeling guilty about work.

    What's been the hardest part for you in keeping that balance? More the time aspect, or switching between work and family mode?
