Most beginner homesteaders start with the ambition to achieve financial freedom or work from home. So, how do you achieve work life balance as a homesteader when you’re working on getting yourself to your homesteading goals?

How to Achieve Work Life Balance as a Homesteader, Wandering Hoof Ranch

I wanted to share this conversation with you today because its a common discussion around our family dinner table, its a common dream of our families and I know most people really struggle making ends meet these days both financially and in balancing the needs of family life, homesteading and full time jobs.

If you’ve been around here long, you know that we both work full time have small children and huge goals to retire early and just enjoy our lives.

Life isn’t easy, obviously, for any of us and I want to help encourage you to work on your homesteading goals when times get tough and you’re still trying to balance between work and life.

So in this post, I’ll share with you some journal prompts to help you ease into finding a seasonal balance for you at this exact time in your journey.

What do I mean by a seasonal balance? I mean don’t think of finding balance as fifty fifty for both work and life. Think about where you are in your season of life, what is important to you and how will that help you find your balance?

I challenge you to write a journal, especially as a simple homestead living chick that wants more than the busy life.
