Website Design

This post is to answer two questions that I get asked often on forums.

Do I sleep?
Do I have a life?

I wake up everyday around 5:30, take a shower and go to my little office at the house. I have an office in town but I’m rarely seen around there these days. My husband is the one that deals with the employees and sets up the jobs, I have people at the house that cook, clean and take care of my daughter.

On a normal day I start off by checking my emails, then I move into the forums and after that I start writing in my blogs. I have 7 blogs I try to post in at lest once a day and the same number of forums I try and post in everyday.

I spend an hour in the morning with my daughter before she goes to school and try to spend an hour with her in the afternoon when she gets out of school. When my husband gets home from our web design office in town my daughter, husband and myself will all go to the mall eat an ice cream talk a little and come back home. I normally go to bed around 11:00 and hardly ever watch any TV.

Roughly I spend around 12 hours a day online either reading, writing, posting in forums or posting in my blogs. A lot of people ask me do I sleep and the answer is yes, I try and sleep 6 hours every night. A lot of people say that I’m a workaholic and this is not true, I love what I do and do not consider it working. I spend my days playing online and at the end of the day I hope I’ve made enough money to pay the bills and take my daughter to the movies.

I enjoy learning and testing different methods of designing and marketing but do not consider what I do working. Some people enjoy watching TV and playing video games, I enjoy reading and learning. People want to say that I don’t have a life because I spend so much time online, this is untrue, because I spend so much time online it allows me to have the money needed to take my daughter to the movies, go out to eat with my husband, hire people to work for me, go out shopping with family and friends and take vacations when I want to.
It’s true, I spend a lot of time online but this allows me to have a life.
