An old man once told me don’t sweat the small stuff… and it’s all small stuff. God gives us all the same amount of time. Daniel, I’ve been following you for about a year now son you’re doing a great job. I love watching your videos. Houston’s an amazing young man. You’ve got a beautiful daughter a fantastic wife and your older son. Just keep God first all the rest will work out just like it’s supposed to. Hope to meet you one day.
Time Management. Make a list every day. Select hours for certain projects or chores daily. After a week or two, find out what works and what doesn’t. Then adjust. If you really want to be at Mill Creek all day to complete a project, yet know it’s unrealistic, plan for 1/2 a day. Etc. great videos and thanks for helping DeeJay with her editing…hugs
Of course there is room to adapt a schedule based on weather, emergency vet visits, etc. Set your schedule based on weather forecast, typical needs of things like feeding, shipping products, games, etc. but leave a bit of room for adjusting and spontaneity.
Years ago, when my husband and I traveled in our RV we used a portable satellite dish to get tv. The tri-pod kept tipping over when it was too windy. So we hung a 1 gal. Milk jug filled with water hanging in the center of the tripod. Maybe a pint or quart would work. Just one more thing to carry around 😂. Anyway we LOVE watching you and your family AND seeing your love for Jesus. Yours in Christ.
As a groomer I would get my fair share of cats to bath. Owners would sometimes ask why I charged the same (or higher) price as a medium dog. My answer was always “Have you ever done this” ? I’m glad you care enough about your donkeys to pay for hoof care 💜
Unfortunately, there are too many who want "stuff" done for nothing or very close to nothing !! Hope we get to see some of the donkey's getting their respective pedicures !!
Daniel, when you were a State Trooper, how many family events were you not able to attend, i.e., games (sports), church, etc.? Your life schedule now allows you to be with and enjoy your family more. The gift of being your own "boss" is that time management has a different definition. Before I retired, I thought I was going to go crazy with "all the spare time" I would have. Welp, that never happened. I LOVE being able to adjust and rearrange doing things as needed. I don't worry about the day and time things get done, I evaluate progress by planning weeks and not minutes/hours. A whole new world has opened up and I enjoy so many things and hobbies I was never able to do before. Enjoy life. Enjoy your freedom to adjust your schedule as needed. As always, God's blessings for the Arms family. ✨❤
Daniel them sticking cedar trees will suck about 15 gallons of water aday out of the ground. Your doing good getting rid of them. Once those green ones start the oil in them goes up like gas. Daniel that was a problem for me when I retired. I thought if I wasn't doing something working on this and that I felt bad. I set a set of goals daily. I try to finish a project if it's not a big one like MillCreek and complete it. You will feel better completing and getting one done rather running around multi tasking on many. Just my thoughts.
I think you guys do a Hell of a job managing the farm, the other property, all the kids' events and activities, and so many other things. I don't know that anyone could really improve on what you are doing. Just give yourself credit for what you are doing and know that there will always be something waiting in the wings needing to be done. Enjoy your family and friends and what you do, that's what matters and nothing more.
I loved the music while you were feeding the donkeys and the Lama's in the goats! I would really like to see a longer version of that, like you did with Houston's pond. I loved the music!
I have things I should be doing, my biggest problem is I spend too much of my time watching UA-cam channels like yours. But I love watching you and DJ, Dutch, Hidden Heights, Walkers and so on.
Daniel, you and DeJay work hard for your family and farm. What you can't get done today there's tomorrow. Enjoy your family always. And now you get to do all you want to do which you couldn't when you were a trooper. Take one day at a time. And remember you don't have to do everything in one day and neither does DeJay. God Bless you all and your family.
As a retired teacher, time management has been a huge issue in my life. I miss the fast pace multitasking day I use to enjoy. Sure there were ups and downs, but there were so many rewards personally. Unfortunately, my disabled body of today didn’t like the stress after 34 years. I always planned to work at something new when I retired. Now that isn’t possible. I am looking for new directions to fill all of this time that seems to have no purpose. I have enjoyed watching and learning from you and your family. Thank you so much for sharing your lives.
If you were close I'd let you use our D9 Cat.. That's what we used on our 400 plus acres, it made a short job of those cedars, any size. We cleared the land, made roads and now we have a 100 plus acer hay field. Takes alot of work. Your no doubt feeling it. Your doing a great job bro. Keep on rolling..
The priority work always is first and takes most of the day. You and DeJay do an awesome job accomplishing all you do in a day plus setting a great example for your kids
Hi Arms Family. We don't comment too much but you asked about Time Management. We have been on our own since 2017 and have loved it. The one thing that helps us is block scheduling. Now I say help because I (Matt) don't always keep to it 100% because I get caught up in things fast. One thing that is nice about editing is you can get up before everyone else or stay up late so you do not get distracted by anyone. What ever you do don't dwell on t and just try to make 1% better everyday. From what we see you are doing great and are a great inspiration to us and our kids. We also love to fish and hunt. Just find your grove and remember where you came from. 🙂
You can help your tripod when it's windy by taking a weight (I use a ten pound weight disc from an old set my neighbor threw out) tie a string to it so it almost hits the ground when you set up your tripod. Attach that string to the camera mount on the tripod. With the center of gravity lowered, it's harder to tip over.
Great video Daniel.... absolutely look at ALL the "needs to be done" on both properties (including the feeding of the animals), prioritize them, work it out with DeJay to make sure she's on board, consider the kids' schedules, and then go have fun doing what you obviously enjoy doing... you're a credit to your generation so please take that to heart and continue being the BEST Dad that you can be!!
I enjoyed the song you chose in this video. I put homemade huge wall calendar (monthly) on my wall that allows to log what chores I wanted to achieve in the importance of how soon it needed to be accomplished. Having the visual makes it alot easier to see the success or failure of achieved chores. Also easier to know the hrs spent or need to spend for the chore to be done. With you having active children, alot of drive time, and weather dictating, makes every day hard to accomplish everything QUICKLY. So the ole saying "Patience Diablo, Patience. And remember, the Good Lord knows all need a day of rest. I know you have alot to do running the business, being a U-Tuber, a Father n Husband, whew, so catch ya breath n soldier on. You could always hire a part-timer for something. 😆 Catchya later
As a manager many years ago, We called it delegation of authority. You have to find out what Weston is doing and maybe one of his friends. They could help you get some of the projects done. Any help you can find will help.
you know the tune was real nice change for us i thought , wouldn't complain if you fit more of that in your vlogs ! we all appreciate what ever you folks share with us .
Oh how I would love ❤️ to be out on a tractor again, I used to to spend 6 to 10 hours a day when it was season for it. Husband thought he was single during hay season start to finish LOL Great song 🎶 Daniel thank you 🤗🙏🤗🙏
I hang a weight on my tripod on windy days. I feel you on the time management issue. We can be told to prioritize all day long, but the little things still need to be done too.
Danny that song was AWESOME it bought back Feelings to me about when I was LOST after work was done with me !!! I went back to school but also had to take care of things around the house and My Self !!! Saying it that way about my self was I was Burnt from the Neck to the knees and I was the one who did the Taking care of it !!! One of your people here on the channel is My Dear SWEET FRIEND I call her the ICE CUBE LADY she helped me out that day when it was so BAD !!! She poured ICE CUBES DOWN my Blouse haha !!! So you see DANNY the PLEASURE YOU ALL GIVE TO US OUT HERE is GREATLY ENJOYED !!! I watch my Jimmy Houston In the morning and at night My OUR CHRIS ALSO with Jimmy Houston !!! I have about 225 channels that I watch and do other things for !!! Have traveled the USA AND WORLD now in my life!!! Last time to travel was down by you and Jimmy Houston area to be closer !!! My time for traveling is done with as I tired on out faster now !!! Just going to a food store 1 of them is something for me !!! Got a Danny also for me in my family and HE MEANS THE WORLD TO ME !!!
I loved the music as you were feeding the animals. Made me smile. Being a farrier looks like it is a difficult job. Looks like he did a good job. So thankful you care enough about the donkeys (animals)to make sure they get proper care. Love to all❤️
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the Lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals and gathering the cut trees into piles
I would use a large dry erase board to keep track of all the daily chores. Permenant mark/label the daily chores and check off with the dry erase marker. At the end of the day erase all checks to start over. The larger involved jobs keep on a separate dry erase board, and divide weekly by amount of time they will take, input such as $, time, equipment and weather. These jobs use only dry erase markers, because once done they won't need to be re-done or if weather doesn't permit they can be switched out such as tree cutting, burning, building structures etc. (rain and snow might change). I'm a visual person so lists and charts help me stay on track....and ALWAYS leave the Lord's day for Him.
Looks like a busy day on the Miller property. You got the ones you took down moved to burn. Your property is coming along 😊 Love watching the animals eat, play, etc they are relaxing. Take care & see you next time. 😊🙏❤️🤗
You're doing great!! As long as you put God first and family second the rest will fall into place! One of the first Arms Fam videos I watched was with Houston and you and the love and patience that you shared with him made me love you and tear up immediately. Then I was so glad to see more of DeeJay ! God bless you two and your family. Stay real!!
Yup! When I retired from the structure of a job, my schedule became fuller than ever! Running about with and visiting family getting done all those projects that got put off for years around the property. I put up a big white board and blocked in family time, chore time and project times, and travel time for errands. It helped me set up more realistic expectations for what I could accomplish in a day. Realistically each property is at least a 6 hour chore/project day. At first my brain just refused to wrap itself around a schedule again; but come spring time with the longer days you may get there. Praying for ya!
LOVED the music! Don't know who's singing, but It was great to hear it! I lived in San Antonio, TX, for 24 years. They have cedar trees everywhere. To hear Texans talk about the cedar trees you would think the word "cedar" is just another "cuss word." The cedars were brought to America by people from Europe and are not indigenous to America. Well.... they may have lost the war, but the way cedars grow the Europeans may just choke us out of our country! Take care and blessings to all the family.
That grapple is a nice addition to the inventory. My friend you should have a guard in front of your door just in case a limb snaps back so you don’t bust out your window. Music was a great final touch. Enjoyed it.
Good evening Daniel. I'm a 14 year police veteran in a municipality, and there was a veteran officer (now retired) when I was a young one who used to say "One call at a time" when we were swamped with work. I learned really quickly that you can easily overwhelm yourself with workload if you try and do so much at one time. You'll end up doing very little on several projects instead of a lot more in less than a handful. Love your videos and the whole Arms Family (including the animals). When you said you edit Deejay's videos, you should find a clip where she praises you or admits that you were right and add that to the video when she refuses too just to mess with her a bit. Stay safe and God Bless.
A quick easy way to deal with the tripod is to use a string and dangle a water bottle underneath. Quick, small, efficient way to lower the center of gravity. Great videos! Keep it up!
I like the video today and it was actually very enjoyable to listen to the good music and watching your sweet animals eat. Regarding your time management, how about starting to train Houston and Emily to take care of the feeding and watering chores before they go to school so you can get on to doing the work you need to do they’re strong capable kids.☮️
One of the things I have taught the teams I have worked with over the years is... There Is No Such Thing As TIME MANAGEMENT. Time is fixed. 60 seconds... 60 minutes... 24 hours. You have to focus on TASK Management. Prioritize those things you need (or want) to get done and focus on balancing those tasks into your home life. Don't fret over all those other things on the list.... Take pride in accomplishing the task(s) you planned to get done.
The biggest benefit for time management I have found, is a white board. First thing on it is always the must dos, animal feeding, kids school and activities, plus appointments and such. All the stuff that can't be changed. Then comes the want to do jobs, followed by the wish list. When you fail at a want to do job, reschedule immediately and the wish list items that you have scheduled but missed goes back on the wish list untill another spot opens up. Loved the videos, both yours and prettys one. Keep em coming guys. Doesn't always have to be something different. I am quite sure most of your viewers would be quite happy with just an animal chores video now and then. It is why we keep coming back, your family and the animals. Love to all.
For me priorities is key, family duties first! Daily chores are just that, same as weekly chores or periodic chores. Everything else fits in wherever it fits in. Flexibility is paramount in all aspects of our lives and helps reduce stress.
That farrier is a keeper, patient yet firm (in not letting go with a little fit). It is hard to find one to do donkeys, especially minis. They are so low to the ground many can't/won't want to bend that much. It is just as much work if not more to do them so the price is generally about the same. Time management can be tough and being much of yours is outside you also have the weather to contend with also. Just remember you can't do it all in one day as much as you want to
Daniel, set yourself a schedule as if you were still punching a time clock. You can do it, you have an amazing drive to get things done and to do them right. As a small business owner you set the pace and it is up to you to maintain that pace and schedule. Sure things will always come along to throw you off your game but even those things can be worked into a plan to stay on track for your goals. Set daily goals and weekly goals. Film along the way and let us help hold you accountable for your weekly goals.
List all the tasks, prioritize and get to work. Of course setting priorities and sticking to them is the hardest part. Cut yourself some slack but be persistent. You’re doing fine. Keep up the good work
The machines you use are amazing. Years ago was bad on the hours and the body. Do what you can do, in the time you have. Don't fret over what you done get done in your own time. It's amazing what you get done in your time. Stay well. See ya next time. Be safe.
Time management was my problem too. I found to do days of the week, then block off important things. Family came first, then others followed. For you, I think, family all things and for yourself, animals, then projects. If you know ahead of activities for the children then your last section for projects should be easier to schedule. Good luck. I think you do a very good job already. 👏 I think you will have a plan soon. Enjoyed pretending I was driving that machine and moving those trees. It was fun. Your families channels are all I watch. Enjoy today and everyday that God has made for us to take care of 🙏
Hi Daniel and all others too. Getting the right equipment will help and work good. Always enjoy watching your channels. thanks for sharing 😍everyone have a bless day. Hugs and Prayers
If you skid steer does not lock in the back access door and the front cab door you need a kill switch to the battery so thieves can not jump start your skid steer esp when you leave the equipment at the country place.
I can understand your conundrum, Daniel If I were you, I'd absolutely make myself a work schedule to stick to everyday and of course at times you'll have to deviate from it but at least you'll know what you expect from yourself on a daily basis. Your time management will definitely improve by doing this. I make lists every day of my life so that I'll keep myself accountable for my time and it really works for me. Just my thoughts and hope it helps 💜❤💜 God bless you and Dejay and children 🙏
I grew up in a rural area and the 1st born child so my dad taught me many things that, at the time, would be "man's work"....i can change a tire, change my own oil, build fence and use most tools. Daniel, I comments you on being a teacher to your children.
I too struggle with time management Daniel. I wish I had some tips to share, but I work daily to keep the squirrel moments to a minimum! Making videos has given me focus on some projects, helping me to actually finish whatever I have started. I do feel better when I don't have a lot of unfinished projects lying around. I feel more organized. 💖💖💖
Go back to your Trooper days and put up a RIGID schedule. Yes, there will be emergencies, but don't let "oh, I should do this, it won't take very long" interfere with that schedule... After a while, unless you have a serious personality issue about it, the rhythm will establish itself. Worked for me.
I’d say “scratch that itch” by scheduling a full day, say once every few weeks & be ready to do the whole day, dawn to dusk. It may help w that anxiety, & be prepared to reciprocate that time of course. Great channel.
How's bella how many hatched how are y'all doing lots going on around y'all's life but I have learned so much and appreciate y'all's family after my medical permanent disability it's made my recovery much better tnk y'all love the furry family too
Hi, Daniel! I saw DeJay petting Pepper the other day. Has she let you pet her yet? The main thing, Daniel, is the best job is having more time with your family. Hopefully, you will learn the patience that all good things come with time! Love y’all! 💖🇺🇸
Who am I to tell you about time management, when it’s one of my problems too !!! But maybe get in the habit of write on a wall erase calendar what you want to accomplish for the coming week and if you only accomplish 1/4 of what is on there ,,, you are moving forward !
Hi Daniel. Great video. Your New Holland is great and saves you a lot of work. That is going to be a hot 🔥 Property is looking good. Can't wait for the burn. God bless and love yall 💖💖
Loved it Loved it Loved everything about it. I loved watching you make your property beautiful!! Loved watching You feeding the kritters.. Loved watching Pepa doing what's she soooo good at! Loved watching you trying to figure "TIME MANAGEMENT!!!!!! My minister was talking about that the other day!! I had to cut back on UA-cam!!!!!!! I kept THE BEST ARMS HOMESTEAD ❣️ DO YOUR BEST❣️ CROSS TIMBERS ❣️ TRACKS traveling vlog Have a blessed week.
An old man once told me don’t sweat the small stuff… and it’s all small stuff. God gives us all the same amount of time. Daniel, I’ve been following you for about a year now son you’re doing a great job. I love watching your videos. Houston’s an amazing young man. You’ve got a beautiful daughter a fantastic wife and your older son. Just keep God first all the rest will work out just like it’s supposed to. Hope to meet you one day.
Time Management. Make a list every day. Select hours for certain projects or chores daily. After a week or two, find out what works and what doesn’t. Then adjust. If you really want to be at Mill Creek all day to complete a project, yet know it’s unrealistic, plan for 1/2 a day. Etc. great videos and thanks for helping DeeJay with her editing…hugs
Of course there is room to adapt a schedule based on weather, emergency vet visits, etc. Set your schedule based on weather forecast, typical needs of things like feeding, shipping products, games, etc. but leave a bit of room for adjusting and spontaneity.
Now, that's some sound advice !!

A man that has 759K subscribers absolutely knows what he’s doing.✔️
As a groomer I would get my fair share of cats to bath. Owners would sometimes ask why I charged the same (or higher) price as a medium dog. My answer was always “Have you ever done this” ?
I’m glad you care enough about your donkeys to pay for hoof care 💜
“A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way.” ~Mark Twain
good point. I gave a cat a bath, but I will never do that again. Its hair kept sticking to my mouth and those fur-balls are no fun either.
@@jaypritchet6929 🤣🤣
Unfortunately, there are too many who want "stuff" done for nothing or very close to nothing !! Hope we get to see some of the donkey's getting their respective pedicures !!
I would ask them if they had ever bathed cat before?...its a bloody painful mess...I learned to tape thier paws up where they cant splay them...js
Daniel, when you were a State Trooper, how many family events were you not able to attend, i.e., games (sports), church, etc.? Your life schedule now allows you to be with and enjoy your family more.

Just for the record, The song you played while the animals were eating was perfect! It don't get better than that.
The Sweet By and By was my grandfathers favorite song it was played it at his funeral♥
LOVE the music while you were feeding everybody.
I think you guys do a Hell of a job managing the farm, the other property, all the kids' events and activities, and so many other things.

Nothing like sun and shirt sleeves weather! Tractor looks clean, need some soap and water for your white truck!👍👍🇺🇸
Nice music addition to your video today 👏👏👏👏👏. Safe travels 🙏🙏🙏 God bless you and your Family

The camera falling over bit was funny. Made ME chuckle. Keep up the good work.
It was very dramatic.
you know the tune was real nice change for us i thought , wouldn't complain if you fit more of that in your vlogs ! we all appreciate what ever you folks share with us .
The MillCreek property is really looking good. Such a beautiful place so peaceful.
Love seeing the animals as always.
Oh how I would love ❤️ to be out on a tractor again, I used to to spend 6 to 10 hours a day when it was season for it. Husband thought he was single during hay season start to finish LOL Great song 🎶 Daniel thank you 🤗🙏🤗🙏
Im with you Virginia. Been retired for 4 years now, and miss it so much.
I hang a weight on my tripod on windy days.
I feel you on the time management issue. We can be told to prioritize all day long, but the little things still need to be done too.
Yep those little things break your momentum.
Good evening from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and your farm

Don't give up on your project just keep whittling on them and it won't be long until you see that they get done that way too.
You're doing great!! As long as you put God first and family second the rest will fall into place! One of the first Arms Fam videos I watched was with Houston and you and the love and patience that you shared with him made me love you and tear up immediately. Then I was so glad to see more of DeeJay ! God bless you two and your family. Stay real!!
Oh yeah!! Make a list, choose your priorities and be flexible! Be happy!
I'm nearly 79 and some days I have to set stakes to check my progress!!🙏😄
Wise advice from an old man" worry only about things that you can control turn everything else over to God"!!!
Your property is looking great Daniel. Bear is so sweet! Sorry you lost your footage and problems with your microphone. Hope you get it fixed soon.
Yup! When I retired from the structure of a job, my schedule became fuller than ever! Running about with and visiting family getting done all those projects that got put off for years around the property. I put up a big white board and blocked in family time, chore time and project times, and travel time for errands. It helped me set up more realistic expectations for what I could accomplish in a day. Realistically each property is at least a 6 hour chore/project day. At first my brain just refused to wrap itself around a schedule again; but come spring time with the longer days you may get there. Praying for ya!
Looks like Y'all do pretty good figuring out what needs to be done first to balance things out. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.
LOVED the music! Don't know who's singing, but It was great to hear it! I lived in San Antonio, TX, for 24 years. They have cedar trees everywhere. To hear Texans talk about the cedar trees you would think the word "cedar" is just another "cuss word." The cedars were brought to America by people from Europe and are not indigenous to America. Well.... they may have lost the war, but the way cedars grow the Europeans may just choke us out of our country! Take care and blessings to all the family.
That grapple is a nice addition to the inventory. My friend you should have a guard in front of your door just in case a limb snaps back so you don’t bust out your window. Music was a great final touch. Enjoyed it.
Always something to do. Mother nature doesn't always cooperate . Blessings to the Arms Family 🙏
Daniel, thank you for all the efforts you put into making these videos. You do a great job and we appreciate it 👍‼️
Properties looking great with all you are doing
This is always so much fun for me...I have never been on a farm and really love watching what y'all do with the animals & the land! Thank you so much!
That grappler does a great job. Thanks for bringing us along.
Thank you for sharing you & your family plus all the work you do!
Love this video and seeing all the animals. I kind of enjoyed the music 🎶 Well stuff happens you'll get the microphone 🎤 thing fixed.
I enjoyed the music for a change. Of course I always enjoy the videos. Love my Arms family. God bless.
Good evening Daniel. I'm a 14 year police veteran in a municipality, and there was a veteran officer (now retired) when I was a young one who used to say "One call at a time" when we were swamped with work. I learned really quickly that you can easily overwhelm yourself with workload if you try and do so much at one time. You'll end up doing very little on several projects instead of a lot more in less than a handful.
Love your videos and the whole Arms Family (including the animals). When you said you edit Deejay's videos, you should find a clip where she praises you or admits that you were right and add that to the video when she refuses too just to mess with her a bit.
Stay safe and God Bless.
A quick easy way to deal with the tripod is to use a string and dangle a water bottle underneath. Quick, small, efficient way to lower the center of gravity. Great videos! Keep it up!
Daniel, just love your videos!! I could just sit and watch them no matter what you are up too!! So thank you for sharing with all of us❣️❣️❣️
I like the video today and it was actually very enjoyable to listen to the good music and watching your sweet animals eat. Regarding your time management, how about starting to train Houston and Emily to take care of the feeding and watering chores before they go to school so you can get on to doing the work you need to do they’re strong capable kids.☮️
Great video, thanks for taking the time to film for us.
Hey Daniel. Great video. Loved the music and of course Pepper. Hope she lets you pet her soon.
The goat with crazy big horns was swaying his head to the music
Time well spent with the trees . Pepper loves the fresh veggies
I really like your videos, we all have struggles Dan, keep the faith..
One of the things I have taught the teams I have worked with over the years is... There Is No Such Thing As TIME MANAGEMENT. Time is fixed. 60 seconds... 60 minutes... 24 hours. You have to focus on TASK Management. Prioritize those things you need (or want) to get done and focus on balancing those tasks into your home life. Don't fret over all those other things on the list.... Take pride in accomplishing the task(s) you planned to get done.
The mill creek property is looking good. The animals all content, pepper looks very happy. Take care, enjoy yourself 👍❤️🙏❤️
The biggest benefit for time management I have found, is a white board. First thing on it is always the must dos, animal feeding, kids school and activities, plus appointments and such. All the stuff that can't be changed. Then comes the want to do jobs, followed by the wish list. When you fail at a want to do job, reschedule immediately and the wish list items that you have scheduled but missed goes back on the wish list untill another spot opens up. Loved the videos, both yours and prettys one. Keep em coming guys. Doesn't always have to be something different. I am quite sure most of your viewers would be quite happy with just an animal chores video now and then. It is why we keep coming back, your family and the animals. Love to all.
Well it worked out for you Daniel, love that song and love your farm. I too struggle with time management, I'm so bad at it. God bless 💖
For me priorities is key, family duties first! Daily chores are just that, same as weekly chores or periodic chores. Everything else fits in wherever it fits in. Flexibility is paramount in all aspects of our lives and helps reduce stress.
I actually really enjoyed the song you played while feeding the animals
That farrier is a keeper, patient yet firm (in not letting go with a little fit). It is hard to find one to do donkeys, especially minis. They are so low to the ground many can't/won't want to bend that much. It is just as much work if not more to do them so the price is generally about the same. Time management can be tough and being much of yours is outside you also have the weather to contend with also. Just remember you can't do it all in one day as much as you want to
Daniel, set yourself a schedule as if you were still punching a time clock. You can do it, you have an amazing drive to get things done and to do them right. As a small business owner you set the pace and it is up to you to maintain that pace and schedule. Sure things will always come along to throw you off your game but even those things can be worked into a plan to stay on track for your goals. Set daily goals and weekly goals. Film along the way and let us help hold you accountable for your weekly goals.
List all the tasks, prioritize and get to work. Of course setting priorities and sticking to them is the hardest part. Cut yourself some slack but be persistent. You’re doing fine. Keep up the good work
Take advice from Dejay... Do your Best Dan ! Tomorrow is just a moment away !
Ypur right shes a peach people love her shes a natural i would like to see her more with her animals without interrup like s dont u think
The machines you use are amazing. Years ago was bad on the hours and the body. Do what you can do, in the time you have. Don't fret over what you done get done in your own time. It's amazing what you get done in your time. Stay well. See ya next time. Be safe.
Time management was my problem too. I found to do days of the week, then block off important things. Family came first, then others followed. For you, I think, family all things and for yourself, animals, then projects. If you know ahead of activities for the children then your last section for projects should be easier to schedule. Good luck. I think you do a very good job already. 👏 I think you will have a plan soon. Enjoyed pretending I was driving that machine and moving those trees. It was fun. Your families channels are all I watch. Enjoy today and everyday that God has made for us to take care of 🙏
Hi Daniel and all others too. Getting the right equipment will help and work good. Always enjoy watching your channels. thanks for sharing 😍everyone have a bless day. Hugs and Prayers
Love the music while you fed the animals. What is the name of the music and what band?
If you skid steer does not lock in the back access door and the front cab door you need a kill switch to the battery so thieves can not jump start your skid steer esp when you leave the equipment at the country place.
Looking good!!!
I can understand your conundrum, Daniel If I were you, I'd absolutely make myself a work schedule to stick to everyday and of course at times you'll have to deviate from it but at least you'll know what you expect from yourself on a daily basis. Your time management will definitely improve by doing this. I make lists every day of my life so that I'll keep myself accountable for my time and it really works for me. Just my thoughts and hope it helps 💜❤💜 God bless you and Dejay and children 🙏
I grew up in a rural area and the 1st born child so my dad taught me many things that, at the time, would be "man's work"....i can change a tire, change my own oil, build fence and use most tools. Daniel, I comments you on being a teacher to your children.
I too struggle with time management Daniel. I wish I had some tips to share, but I work daily to keep the squirrel moments to a minimum! Making videos has given me focus on some projects, helping me to actually finish whatever I have started. I do feel better when I don't have a lot of unfinished projects lying around. I feel more organized. 💖💖💖
Love watching the vids
love your mill creek.
It looks very windy! I love your show! Thanks for sharing with all of us!
Go back to your Trooper days and put up a RIGID schedule. Yes, there will be emergencies, but don't let "oh, I should do this, it won't take very long" interfere with that schedule... After a while, unless you have a serious personality issue about it, the rhythm will establish itself. Worked for me.
I’d say “scratch that itch” by scheduling a full day, say once every few weeks & be ready to do the whole day, dawn to dusk. It may help w that anxiety, & be prepared to reciprocate that time of course. Great channel.
How's bella how many hatched how are y'all doing lots going on around y'all's life but I have learned so much and appreciate y'all's family after my medical permanent disability it's made my recovery much better tnk y'all love the furry family too
Hi, Daniel! I saw DeJay petting Pepper the other day. Has she let you pet her yet? The main thing, Daniel, is the best job is having more time with your family. Hopefully, you will learn the patience that all good things come with time! Love y’all! 💖🇺🇸
Who am I to tell you about time management, when it’s one of my problems too !!!
But maybe get in the habit of write on a wall erase calendar what you want to accomplish for the coming week and if you only accomplish 1/4 of what is on there ,,, you are moving forward !
Enjoyed it, always. The Millcreek property looking good. Be nice to have that opened up for grass,
Good Evening 😊
Do what u can and what you don’t can wait
