I’ve written three novels so far, and in my opinion, the hardest part is just finding the time to write. I feel like that’s a pretty common issue, maybe not with writing specifically but anything like trying to exercise, cook, or work on a passion project. I believe the best way to find time to do something is to do it whenever you can squeeze in a chance to do it.
I’m a dancer, and I dance almost every day of the week. Even though I’m homeschooled, I have a lot of schoolwork, and it can be hard for me to find time to write. To find time to write, I would write whenever I was in the car traveling to and from dance. I completely wrote my book You Have Monsieur Monster for 3rd in the car!
I understand that the perfect moment to workout or to get homework done doesn’t always just appear. I’m grateful that I even had the time in the car that allowed me to write since most people don’t have that. I have realized I can find time for anything if I utilize my time properly. It did mean I had to play fewer video games to accomplish these books, I really wanted to just go on my phone and play Candy Crush during the car ride, but I made myself write.
I hope that this article gives you some ideas of ways to find time to do what you want to do. I also appreciate you taking the time to read this article because while it may take a few minutes out of your day, it helps me and my blog grow.
Now I have a question for you. What passion or goal of yours do you want to find more time for? Let me know, and always remember to keep on shivering.
That's what I call good time management! It's always hard to make time for certain tasks (especially the less pleasant ones, let's face it)
I have enjoyed reading your posts and love your commitment to growing in areas you are passionate about. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there! I’ve been doing more writing myself (mostly poetry) and I’m slowly learning how to share more openly. Something else I am making more time for is learning a new language. I have always wanted to be multilingual! Like you, I have found a way to learn while doing other things. The app I use allows me to cook, clean, walk the dogs, etc while I’m listening and practicing Hebrew. It’s very hard at times but I am enjoying the challenge and learning to laugh more at my mistakes.
Keep up the…
I love gardening and would like to find more time for it!
