Think I got Clicked Bombed

On Sunday I received and email from Google stating my Adsense account has been disabled. Well isn't that grand, not that I'm raking in the money like there is no tomorrow; but it is a bit annoying. Now I know I have not been clicking my own ads, and my family doesn't read this site so I know its not my kids doing it. I have never bought views or anything like that, so that leaves me down to one last item it could be. Click Bombed by someone that doesn't like my YouTube content. Since moving from a gaming only channel and expanding on the whole Family end of videos showing real life and not following the same path as every "YouTube Gamer" poster, means that some just want others gone. So guess I made someone out there mad about my move away just gaming and into a more real world view of my videos.

Now what does that mean for Life Of a Gaming Dad? Well I sit here and hope Google will re-activate my account and funding for this site will continue threw those means. But lets be truthful. As with doing some research around the web a good 80% of the time Google does these disabling never get back on-line again. Its a sad thing but something I will have to accept, there are other ad-programs out there, but with being a small blog and channel it will be a long road ahead to get them going. The next step after that would be do I want to move away from Blogger due to be owned by Google? Well again theres a hit when it comes to funding. I chose this place due to the easy access between YouTube, Blogger and Adsense in order to quickly get thing going for not only myself but the content I wanted to create.

With all that said Life of a Gaming Dad will go on in some form, might even cut my losses and step away from the channel I have had for years since YouTube's opening. Is it a big loss, both yes and no. Yes as I have become known with the handle I have had for so many years, thus the reason for using it to start this blog. On the no hand re-branding is a major task and I think thats were my problem showed up. Many didn't like the change creating a loss of over 150 subs in just a month. (Yep big run down).
All in all I am in big hopes for some good words back from Google but in the end its their call, and time to create a new plan for this Domain and idea.

Finding Spare Time

I have talked about this time and time again, trying to get things back on track every chance I can; But with kids those plans always side to the side. In today's world there is a lot of things to get your kids into after school programs, sports, library programs and so much more. With all this and work its hard to get free time in order to do some hobbies. So what is one to do? Well time management is a major thing to learn and use once you get things going more and more can get done, its like having a very organized work area.
I myself have been watching my how I spend my time, and looking to change some thing up in order to get more done. One big thing I have noticed is that since I commute to work I have a a good bit of spare time. My bus ride in is about fifty minutes one way there is a good bit of time to write or work on planning things out. So what I need to do is get my laptop back up and working now I don't have a very new laptop so you all know that I will be using a version of Linux on it in which will help with power management in which will make sure I have enough battery power for the ride in, lately there has been many delays and the commute making the ride on the bus over an hour and half. Now most newer laptops can last for up to four hours, now I will be reusing my old HP DV5 in which the battery only last about an hour and half on full running, with using the lowest display brightness and having the wi-fi turned off I should be able to get about two hours or a bit more. Since I am using blog spot using a free app for writing a word doc or even an HTML document then come home and copy the article from the freeware app into the website and upload.

Now that helps use up time for about two of my hours in the day were I am stuck unable to do anything else but wait for the driver to get where I am heading. Knowing where to get a spare thirty minutes in your day to help out with task you want to do is key to getting more done. Even waking up 30 minutes earlier in the morning in order to do something might seem like nothing will get done and in the first week there would be nothing until your body and mind get into the habit. Even getting up early and reading a book while you eat your breakfast can help you get more done. Its all about getting your mind going and onto the task at hand using this spare time to clear up your want to do list with just little tweak to your daily list of things to do.

Health

Alright folks, sorry for the delay had some health issues a rise but I'm back now and trying to get on track. Which brings me to this great item. Holidays and health, something that all people tend to skip over during this time of year. With all the running around getting gifts for family and friends we over look whats going on in our own lives and health. People always talk about the stress of the holidays with out thinking that we our selves make most of the stress. So we need to step back and take a few minutes to rest before we take on the next task, and when we see that person in front of us in line totally stressed out and yelling remember to give him a kind smile. The power of a smile can turn someones day around and remind them that even tho things are going bad and stress full but the next turn they make may be a brighter one.
Sorry again for not making a longer post, I am working on new content and will be getting more up, but with the holidays it will be slow.
