I suppose I’ve become too comfortable with my current daily blog routine, that I get uncomfortable if I veer too far from it. I can’t put new projects on my plate without first removing something, in order to make space for it (paraphrased from another blogger!). It’s only then that I can move on to ‘hopeful passive income item number two’. I’ll share more details when I get closer to completion, but it’s been sitting at chapter two for too long 😉 I’d like to make a conscious effort to speed things up a little. It will be an adaptation from my blog, but not a direct copy and paste, of course. While I have a few scattered projects on hand, the first one I’d like to finish is my e-book for sale. Writing on my blog alone will not suffice, and isn’t the best way to gain income, at least for me for now. I am aware for the need to diversify my income streams. But it would also be nice to actually earn enough to feed myself and buy my own medications, without relying on my partner or family. I sincerely strive to share knowledge of my personal experiences, and to provide support. One of the reasons why I’m investing so much time and effort into my blog, is that I hope to earn a relatively stable income from it some day. Besides, it will be a good opportunity to find joy in the little everyday things, and to pay more attention to my mind and body before there is even a need for relief. Sometimes, I need to think about long-term benefits over short-term gains. I think the ‘boring self-care’ series sums this concept up pretty well. Perhaps these things bring a smile or relief for a little while, but my finances need some looking after as well, especially since I’m not working full-time. I tend to spend more money when I’m feeling down, and recently that’s been happening too often. I will only permit myself to buy basic necessities and refills of regular items. So here it is inked online – I’m going to try doing it for real (again 😉 ). I told myself that I was going to do a no spend month…for the past three months. One of my flaws is that I’m impulsive, and terrible with money management. But what I’d like to budget for October are my personal finances, the good old fashioned meaning of the word. As a person with chronic illness, rationing everything in your life is probably the norm rather than the exception. You could budget your energy or your time.
