Last week, I wrote about finding more time using mobile technology. Today, I want to suggest three approaches to scheduling the main working time for your projects. There are multiple tricks and techniques beyond these, but they should give you a good start in finding what works for you.
1. Small parts, long term
Some of your projects may be one-off efforts, but if you are really committed to some idea, you want to make sure it will be sustainable long term.
Set a schedule
It’s okay if the project is planned as a one-time effort intentionally, but for the lasting undertakings, you want to build a habit. It is better to invest a few hours a week consistently than to do a few hacking sessions and then abandon the project.
