full time job + girlfriend = no internet monies

eat, go to gym, train, shower, and come back to work in my 30 min lunch break? ok.

its easy to break it down on paper like that but it doesnt translate into reality very accurately.

The point is, welcome to the real fucking world bro. You're bitching about how to manage a full time job + a girlfriend? Early in my college career I took 18 credits, worked over 20 hours / week, and was on the swim team (two practices per day plus out of town meets on weekends). I still found time to dick around on the internet.

If you can't figure out how to find time for, *gasp*, a job and a girlfriend (do you know how many people have a job and a gf? seriously?)...you will never go anywhere in life so just give up now. Do you ever plan to have a family someday?

Sorry to be so harsh, but somebody needs to wake you the fuck up son! Get your shit done and quit crying!

EDIT: It's 5:30 am right now where I am, I've already ran (outside, in 18 degrees, for an hour), had breakfast, and checked my stats like 10 times. What are you doing right now? I won't hold my breath for a response, because you're probably being a lazy bitch, in bed, sleeping. Get my point now?
 


Man the fuck up.

I got a job, a wife, a baby son, do fitness, and AM, also: social life.

I think the best tip given here is to work together with her for internet monies to be able to stay together and having a d.job as well or make monies while you are young if money is your top priority.

^^this

I remember one time i was bitching on some mmo forum (before WoW) about how tough college finals were.

I basically got laughed at by people who had some real problems.

Was a good lesson for me. OP take note.
 
OK, I will try to be a bit more helpful.

Work smarter, not harder.

Organization
Organize your files in a logical way. Name images, tag them, put them in folders.
Same for PSD templates, HTML files, etc..

This is not for OCD, but for reuse

Re-use everything
Try to build templates, not one-shots. Grab or generate some generic layouts that are easy to customize.

Same for PSD files, ad-copy, code, etc...

Automate
Automate whatever you can, get uBot (see my sig) or code your own stuff.

Outsource
Once you got the money, outsource.
Find a few trusted people that do good work. Use the shit out of them.

Live by the to-do list
I breathe the GTD system, but really you just need to make a reliable to-do list and work it.

WORK, don't play
Use the pomodoro technique.
Every half hour, 25 minutes of uninterrupted, concentrated work, 5 minutes of slacking = 1 pomodoro.
After 3 or 4 pomodoros, 1/2 hour break.

The key here is concentrated, uninterrupted work. One tiny interruption - no pomodoro for you.
IF you can do 8 pomodoros (4 hours), you are a GOD.

Seriously, at work I get 4-6 pomodoros on a VERY good day, as interruptions are constant. Got enough time to surf, talk bull with the co-workers, do some of my own shit and I am still kicking ass when it comes to productivity.

Don't break the chain
Get a calendar (or google excel sheet) and mark each day you did 1+ POMODOROs for your AM stuff. Try to make these marks form an uninterrupted chain. Profit ensues!

I just bookmarked emp's above post for future reference to increase my productivity, however I have my own input to add as well.

Organization is everything. I'm a full-time college student with a full-time girlfriend. Yet I still manage to hold down a part-time job, work on affiliate marketing, study, have a social life, keep in touch with my family, work out nine times a week, and coach over 100 others in the workings of AM.

When you are organized and you know what you are doing when, and are able to keep that organization steady, you will notice productivity and free time increase dramatically.

I have a suggestion and a question:

Suggestion: map out everything you do for a week, down to the smallest detail. When the week ends, cross out the things that either could be done faster, could be removed altogether, or aren't important enough to affect other events, then redo your schedule and follow it for a week. If it works well, keep it. If not, continue to narrow it down.

Question: Does your girlfriend not have a job or a life? Honest question.

full time job, girlfriend, internet monies

Pick two.

Do you have a sister? :D

I have 2 but one is married....my baby is still single though and a go getter in business so she understands that it takes a little sacrifice to make $$...
 
I don't think trying to talk it out, as many suggested, is the solution, since women are illogical creatures by nature. You just need to get one that isn't so high on the maintenance scale. My current gf is happy to read a book or a magazine or play on her laptop or whatever while I'm working. Also, if I tell her I can't hang out because there is a project I really want to work on, she is totally cool with it and usually just stays home.

Makes for very little stress and lots of productivity, when I actually manage to get to work, of course.

Hahah, this!


I've had a similar experience a couple of years ago. I had a gf who needed a shit ton of attention and got jealous easily. When I was with her, I would literally only put in like 20 minutes of work, just check some stats.. make sure nothing is fucked up. Then it got to the point that if we were on the phone and she heard me typing, she'd be pissed off.

Anyway, I've been single this past year and it's been the most productive year of my life in terms of what I've accomplished, income, etc.

So does that mean women are the reason for men's lack of productivity?

No. Just the overbearing bitches who don't let you better yourself/grow your business because they need all your time.

There's plenty of women out there who are going to accept that work + time = internet monies.. and obviously she'll reap the benefits of your success. If she can't understand that you need time to work and grow your business, find somebody who does.

I wish this could be condensed into a signature. Wish I learned this the easy way.
 
I think your best bet to solve this problem is to tell her that shes a bit fat and your just not that attracted to her, suggest she loose 10 or 20 pounds.

Now following this advise will accomplish 1 or 2 things. 1 she work her ass off thinking shes to fat and you will get a sexier "playtoy" out of the deal while freeing up your time on the "puter" Or 2 she will leave your ass either way you will have your free time. My guess is she will work her ass off because she will think shes 2 fat to get a replacement man so you will still get to bang her for a few months while she thins out (after a 2 week abstinence penalty) while this is all going on you should be able to make some cash to buy her something really niche. Good luck man
 
thanks for the helpful post emp...and everyone else that replied.

fuck, maybe i am being a punk about it. i think partly the problem is im just selfish and only want to put my energy into AM. its really all i give a shit about currently. i tend to have that sort of personality where i get into something and couldnt care less about anything else. prob not a healthy characteristic, i know.

suppose i just need to give some serious consideration to what my priorities are. nothing wrong with settling down but im just not sure if thats what i want, even though im approaching the age where social pressure starts to take its toll. its something ive been internally battling with for a while now and AM is prob just my scape goat.

im 29 btw.
 
Show her some $ in your account and collect any screenshot of milion of $ on any product promoting website and show it to her
and then say , i also want to have atleast 10 % of them in my account only and only for you and kiss her .
and then grab her face on your shoulders and then look in her eyes and say " will u help me ? dont you know but when i see you not travelling in hummer , it just kills me , i know you dont want to and that is one of the reason i love you but no question , [now speak louder ] i will get u a hummer soon and none can stop me ...






just do it dude , it works :D :D

I'm the same age, similar situation. The thing is I work around 60 hours a week and got a kid. But my problem is solved now. First: I support my lady on her hobby - that mean I talk with her about it, ask questions etc whenever we spend time together. Thanks to this she supports me on my hobby. I talked to her and get the facts straight: I work now, results are miserable, but will improve in future and whole family will benefit. If she has no hobby - push her into something! Second: I've mastered time management: when I fuck I fuck, when I eat I eat. When playing with my kid - do just this. Productivity is a key. Clear your mind - give your lady what she needs when you are together. Don't think about AM when making love. Don't think about making love when doing AM :) Third: set the priorities. For me is my kid, than to keep family happy/together, than AM, and my day job I do to survive until I manage to do something different.
 
Just saw this thread.

If you're serious about making internet monies, you'll dump or "grow apart" from this girl. She doesn't understand now and she won't understand later. There are lower-maintenance girls out there who have lives of their own.

3 hours a day isn't enough to profitably get a quality empire started, IMHO. Shit won't get real until you do.

Funniest part for me is that this serious "Acquire Currency Disregard Females" attitude has attracted even more girls who want me to get serious.

It won't happen anytime in the next couple of years, things are getting REALLY hot right now because I've stuck to my schedule and I love doing what I'm doing. My boys will still be able to swim in ~5 years when I sell my business and I can get enough action in the meantime.
 
I don't know how many hours you are spending with this girl everyday, but it sounds like shes super clingy. I personally HATE clingy girls cuz they take up so much of my god damn time when i could be making money. Just talk to her and tell her this is business and you gotta make a god damn living. Incorporate your company, print some business cards and show it to her. Let her know is a legit business. I see my girl 2-3 times a week and we'll prob only spend like a whole day together each week. Gotta manage your time better bro!
