The first step in making time is to prioritize your day. What things absolutely need to get done, and what are some things that could wait? Can you wake up 30 minutes earlier? Do you have to watch that hour-long television show? How about that phone call that took 45 minutes, when you could've wrapped it up in 10? There are many moments in life where you can make time, but choose to do something else instead.
We are a society of excuses, a people who want nothing more than to blame someone else for their shortcomings rather than take responsibility.
So, I challenge you to ask yourself this question: just how important is my writing? Then, if your writing is really more than a hobby, you should have no trouble trimming ten minutes here and ten minutes there out of your schedule to find a solid 30 to 60 minutes a day to write.
I wake up a little earlier and I cut down on television watching. Then, I squeeze in my writing before anyone in my house wakes up so that I also don't miss out on family time.
How do you find time?
