How Do I Find Time for Things Other than my Day Job?

Once spent 90 minutes a day just commuting. Getting to work early, I probably wasted 2 hours a day. Try and live as close to work as possible, or utilize the commute time to do other things.

Ed believes there are 3 days in 24 hours:

Day 1 - 6am - 12pm

Day 2 - 12pm - 6pm

Day 3 - 6pm - Midnight

You can accomplish a lot in those "three days" Sleep is important. Don't skimp there.

Takes a little bit of time. But, it will help you map out what's important. Focus on the top 3 things. Get them done over all else. Then work on what you can.

What is not that important for you? Get rid of it.

Subtracting things is easier than finding more time or being more efficient.

I love to stay up late, while everyone else is asleep. Problem is, to get 7-8 hours of sleep, I'm waking up later than the rest of the world.

When you get up early and get a lot done, you feel very accomplished and ready to attack the day.

The people I know who get the most done, are always busy. They also are always there for me, when I need them. We all can take on a lot more than we think.

I spend so much time wondering what to eat. Automate it. Or skip meals. You will be fine. Eat something quick for lunch. Have simple meals that are easy to make or order.

Can you walk/run and make phone calls? Or spend time with family while exercising? Can you work on your side business during the downtime of your main work/business?

Hiring a cleaning person once a month has been the best money I've ever spent. I don't like to clean, but I'm neat. So, I just do my best for 4 weeks and then they come in and clean the place. It saves me a ton of time, stress, and effort.

Could you hire someone to manage your email? Or take phone calls. Or do some errands for you?

Priorities and motivations change over time. Make sure you are working your tail off for the reasons you want. Not what people tell you you should do. Or even what your past self told you you should do.
