With many in America and beyond working from home for the first time, I wanted to share my schedule on how I make extra money before, after, and even during my lunch break. I’ve worked from home for almost eight years, which means I’ve tried and failed at fifty plus approaches to productivity. But first, let’s get one thing straight: working from home seems like a breeze. You don’t have to commute, you can cook at home, you have unlimited coffee. Every possible comfort is here. Sounds great, right? Well, sort of. As good as all these things are, they also pose major problems. The convenience of it all quickly curdles into indulgence. Before you know it, you’re taking naps, you’re spending an hour making lunch, or you’re killing endless hours on the internet. Trust me, it’s an easy trap to fit into. The cure? A rigid schedule. Sure, it isn’t very fun, but it is the way to get things done. Now, how do you go above and beyond your normal work? Follow this schedule and see success. First thing’s first, sign up for a trading site. This is the best way to make money at home because it allows you to play the markets. Playing the markets is no easy task, but it certainly beats learning to whittle or selling crafts. Personally, I use Try2BFunded for two reasons. The first is that it works and works well. It took me seven weeks to learn just how I wanted to trade and how to manage risk. That paid off big time when it came to the coronavirus crash. The second is that I don’t use my own money. I use Try2BFunded's bank and get to keep 60% of the profits. They pay every two weeks. Here’s how I make Try2BFunded work for me in my extra time. If you’re working 9-5: 8 AM: read through that morning’s stock news and check in on portfolio. It’s important to stay up to date, especially in the midst of this crisis. 8:30: make your initial adjustments to get ahead for the day. 12 PM: whenever you take your lunch break, it’s a good idea to put in another 15-20 minutes of trading on Try2BFunded. As it says on the site, it pays to put in time. I’ve had a lot of success just by jumping in here and there. 5 PM: this is where the real trading begins. I’ve made a habit of putting in an hour every night as soon as I’m finished with my day job. Why? Because procrastinating means you either won’t work or you’ll wait until midnight. And not working means you won’t make that extra dough. 6:30 PM: On a good day I try to put in an hour and a half. Then spend another 15-30 minutes setting things up for the next day. Then you’re free—free to do whatever you want, free to watch the money pile up. While this schedule might seem tedious, it’s essential in building a system of discipline. Hard work combined with discipline means defeating the boredom of working from home. And beating boredom means efficiency, focus, and the potential to make great money. *Note*: If you don’t work a 9-5 but are stuck at home, this can still work as a great outline. Just replace the hours in between this schedule with more trading. That’s what I do on weekends sometimes and the results are great!
