How To Find Time For Your Side Hustles

I used to work 12–16 hour days on my Online Business. Now I work 30 minutes to 2 hours a day.

In that time, I create a piece of content, a newsletter and post content to social media.

How do I manage all that?

Having a simple process that is repeatable day after day.

Here is how to increase your productivity

Step One — Use Dead Time To “Compose”

Each morning, I get up and go for a walk; it’s part of my daily routine; during that walk, I write my content and my daily email in my head.

Then, when I get home, I write the content and polish it.

This saves me so much time staring at a blank screen.

You can do this anywhere, driving to work?

Sitting on a train or a bus, even doing the weekly shop.

Instead of thinking about random things, get in the habit of creating your daily content, if your memory sucks, then make notes in a small pocket sized notebook.

Step Two — Create a Distraction Free Environment
