You ever remember those summers when you were in high school when you worked your ass off to get that new car, or just to have some money? Well that is looking to be what this summer is going to be for me. I don’t want a new car or anything like that, but I do want to elevate some debts and become more financially free. The biggest problem I have right now are my student loans, I’m not going to say how much I owe, but it’s a lot and the thing that really pisses me off is that I could have just saved my money because I’m not using what I learned in college now! No I’m not going to be working outside all summer, I’m going to be inside busting my ass on all of my sites.

Becoming More Financially Free
I do have certain goals in mind, but the overall goal is becoming more financially free. Each month I have certain payments that need paid and I also have to buy the essentials like groceries. The easiest way to do this is to make more money, but how exactly do I do that? Well of course I’m going to be working more. Usually if you work more you end up making more, but in this business it is not always like that. I hope to be publishing more reviews and articles on ThinkComputers and ThinkGaming as well as keeping up to date with this blog. That should essentially increase income. I might also look towards other forms of income, but all online of course, no working for “the man”!

Stay Motivated
The most important thing that I have to do is keep motivated. When you are motivated work comes easy and you do not get frustrated when certain things do not get your way. There are a lot of different ways to stay motivated, but one of the easiest ways is to be on a schedule that works for you. If you are exhausted and tired all the time motivation is not going to come easy. Also setting daily goals and tasks will help you stay motivated.

Don’t Burn Out
So with all of this work won’t I get sick of it? That’s what happens to so many people, they get burnt out. There are some really easy steps you can take to not burn out. The first being pick a day of the week to just take off. You would not believe how nice it is to not think about work for an entire day. If taking a whole day off is not an option make sure you are taking proper breaks. Usually each day I take about 2 1-hour breaks in between doing work. This way I can schedule tasks and just have some down time where I can relax. I’m also not going to be a hermit all summer. I will definitely be taking the time to go to the pool and hang out with friends. So hopefully this summer will be a success, we will just have to see…
