So, in this new way of working virtually, around the globe, how are you managing your energy? I find that if I have too much free time, I’m more tired than if I’m working on a project! Weird? Maybe, or is it science? Have you read the book “Flow” By: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Ph.D.? He basically says that when you’re in flow, you actually create more joy and excitement, hence the energy:)
One of the things that gets me into flow, is creating an art project. It used to be card making, paper crafting, scrapbooking, but now I find myself intrigued by digital artistic endeavors, like teaching myself how to create this planner below:
Reason #1: TIME
So, why is this important now? Because you might find a bit of extra time on your hands! Use it to learn something new and create a new stream of income for yourself:).
Reason #2: FOCUS
As you take a bit of time at home, not commuting, shopping or socializing, you can actually have longer to get into a focused, flow state. If you are trying to learn something new for your side-hustle, like painting, blogging, or creating an online class, now is the perfect time to get into FOCUS.
Reason #3: ONLINE
If you have ever wanted to create your own side-hustle, and you weren’t sure where to begin, go ONLINE! That’s where everyone is right now, it is the best time to do your market research, create a beta group of testers, and start a Facebook group to support your tribe.
Before we all go back to life as usual, take a weekend to explore how you can find the Time & Focus to get Online.
Good luck to you in your new endeavor & post back what you’ve learned!
I agree that now is the right time to invest in the side hustle. As everything is moving ahead leaps and bounds digitally, and there’s less and less to do with free time, it makes perfect sense to invest that time instead of squandering it.
Thanks, Mary! Do you have a side hustle that you are interested in starting? As you say, now is the right time!
Glad you agree:)
Take care,
