As a mother of three young kids, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to find time to write.

Between the endless demands of parenting and the need to provide for our families, it can be tempting to put our writing dreams on hold.

But as I’ve learned over the years, with the right attitude and approach, it’s possible to make money writing on Medium even with young kids.

Routine, routine, routine

The first step to success is to prioritise your time. Look at your daily routine and identify pockets of time that you can carve out for writing. Maybe it’s waking up an hour earlier in the morning, or staying up a bit later at night.

Maybe it’s writing during naptime or while the kids are at school. Whatever it is, make a commitment to use that time to write.

Scheduling your time wisely

But prioritising time alone isn’t enough. You also need to organise your writing schedule to maximize productivity. Set daily, weekly, and monthly goals for yourself, and hold yourself accountable for meeting them. Use tools like calendars and to-do lists to keep yourself on track.
