While I am freelancing again I am also earning money in my spare time. Rather I am killing time by getting change to build up from surveys and other tasks. I have a goal and some things to catch up on so I would be earning everything I can whenever I can.
At the moment my calendar is used for nothing but appointments that take away working hours. I currently have more than one iron in the fire. These are used for both supplementing income and/or earning gift cards to use on things we need. I have a financial goal in mind and I'm working my rear off to achieve it.
I am still working on setting the timeline for the goals however so I have them broken up into different milestones.
What Would the Milestones Look Like?
I've found that I do well with milestones, little things like saving $10 in two months. That's a bit over simplified but you get the idea. I've grown accustomed to working from home again rather quickly and I don't plan to give it up anytime soon. That means that I have to build my income up to cover all of our expenses and put money back for a rainy day when work is scarce. We're going to find out if I can realistic save a couple months of expense and something for emergencies that aren't regularly included in my monthly budget.

What Would the Milestones Look Like?
- Goals themselves with a date or year to achieve them by
- Steps to achieve them
- How much daily income has to be to obtain them
- Projects that have to be completed
- Timeline for completing projects
