This weekend I was not able to get ANY studying done. And all last week I got nothing done. I promised myself 2 hours every day.
First, it was no computer.
Then it was no internet.
Then it was unpacking and painting, and running errands.
I am just glad it is a self paced course with no deadlines. Because boy, time sure slips away from you.
Hopefully tonight after my son goes to bed I can crack down and get quite a bit of it done.
The motivation to get the course done is there... Just finding the time is the problem.
What does everyone else do regarding time?

Are you still enjoying your school? How is it. I've thought about doing medical transcription after seeing ads for it. It sounds interesting.
It is so hard to find time for things, even the things we are motivated to pursue! I try writing down specific goals in small steps. I get up early to try and accomplish them (before my daughter wakes up so I have a little quiet time) because I'm a morning person. If you're a night owl staying up might work better for you.
Maybe posting your specific course related goals on this blog will help? I find when I blog about something I'm more likely to achieve it.
Take care,
Steph
@Sami- So far I really enjoy it. I have always wanted to work in the medical field, but having a son put a halt on that. But then I stumbled across this. And it is just perfect for me.
Be a stay at home mom and still make money.
@Steph- Thanks for the advice! I am defiantly a night person, so I need to do it at night. Just some times by the time I get my son put in bed I am EXHAUSTED
But I have noticed blogging goals, even on my personal blog helps.
It can be rather difficult to manage your time, but as I mentioned in my own blog about one of my very first classes, look for those "unexpected gifts of time". I take advantage of every waiting room possible when I have something to study; my books travel with me and I make the best of my time no matter where I'm at.
For me it helps that my youngest is in pre-school this year so I get up to 2.5 hours, 4 days out of nearly every week to work on studies at the library, park, waiting rooms for appointments, or even hanging out in the car while I wait for him to get out of school. (We live in the boonies and it's not cost efficient to travel an additional 40 miles round-trip for 2.5 hours of quiet!)
I also make the most of any quiet time the boys let me have while they are reading or playing quietly by themselves or as soon as they go to bed, the T.V. is off and I'm hard at work on the computer! Just stick to your guns about dedicating 2 hours daily and I'm sure you'll find or make the time available for your hopes, dreams, and goals to come true!
