10 Ways to make time for your side hustle and also make money. You have a full-time job, with significant other, and two children at home. You want to make time for work, family, yourself, and your side employment so that it can grow into a full-time business. How are you going to find time to work on your side hustle so you can finally leave your corporate job? There is no simple answer, and it is certainly not straightforward. If this is a priority for you, you simply must MAKE the time. It is possible, however, and here we will give you some pointers on how to do it! The essential thing is that you must be completely devoted to it. Remember, "the goal is not to prioritize what's on your agenda, but to plan your priorities," says Steven Covey. The first step is to consider why you want a side business. Is it because you want to clear some debts? Do you simply want a second source of income to supplement your existing one? Or do you truly want to turn your side business into a full-time job? Whatever it is, it is critical to understand why you want to travel down this route because the stronger your "why," the more likely you are to make the necessary sacrifices to get there. Choosing the right side hustle comes down to knowing your current needs, abilities, and limits. A side hustle can also help you test-drive an altogether new career, which is especially important if you want to make your passions your major job. Not every pastime needs to be commercialized, and some may lose their attractiveness if reduced to a source of revenue. You won't know till you try it. So, let's look at how you can make time to establish a profitable side hustle that will earn you money on the side: Side hustles can help you earn money, develop new skills, or turn your interests into a new career. Consider your hobbies, abilities, and ambitions before deciding on a side hustle. Find side gigs using employment se This is a no-brainer: if you want to make more time in your day, get up earlier. You can begin slowly by waking up 15-30 minutes early to begin. Then, in a few weeks, try waking up an hour earlier and see how things go. It is possible to change your behaviours, and sleep experts advise the following suggestions: Set the alarm and place it across the room: The most obvious suggestion is to set your alarm and place it across the room so that you must wake up to turn it off (snoozing is not an option). Get out in the sun as soon as you wake up: perhaps plan a morning stroll or run to get the day started (I walk my dogs first thing in the morning) When you get up, take a glass of water: at least 16 oz. Water jumpstarts your metabolism, hydrates you, aids in the removal of toxins from your body, and can provide fuel for your brain first thing in the morning (then you can have your coffee afterwards). Maintain your schedule (especially on weekends!): I know it's difficult, but sleep specialists urge that you maintain your pattern, even on weekends, if you want to become more of a morning person. Changing your habits requires consistency. 2. Keep Your Day Job Separate While you may spend eight hours a day at your employment, maintain your day job and side business distinct. Never, ever work on your side business in the office. Your employer is essentially paying your bills and your start-up fees. Respect your bosses by working hard in the office throughout the day and hard after work on your business. Lunch breaks are permissible, but avoid working on your business on your office computer; instead, bring a laptop to work if necessary. It's critical that you remember not to conflate your day job and your business. Though it may appear obvious, do not focus on your business during working hours. Also, avoid exploiting work resources for your personal venture. You risk legal action and losing the trust of individuals you work with if you focus on your personal business during working hours.3. Work on your side hustle on your way to work It is feasible to get work done while driving, taking the bus, or taking the train to work (you just have to get creative). Consider listening to podcasts or audiobooks on business or entrepreneurship while driving. Get out your voice recorder and start capturing voice notes when you have ideas for your side gig or blog. By the time you go to work, you could have an entire blog post outline. You can also utilise internet tools to transcribe your notes once you get home. You can listen to audiobooks, podcasts, or even take an online class if you take the bus or train to work. The advantage of this scenario is that you can take written notes as well. In fact, now that you're not driving and have internet connectivity, you may accomplish any type of computer-based work. (Don't forget about time spent on an airline if you travel for work.)4. Work on it during your lunch hour, after work, or on weekends. Working at lunch is simple because you can usually find an empty conference room, go to the restaurant, go to a nearby Starbucks, or even work in your car. This might offer you 30 minutes to an hour every day to work on your side hustle. Another alternative is to work on your side business after Make your weekly calendar consistent: we can't manage time because it's continuous, but we can manage ourselves! Schedule all of your activities on a calendar so you can keep track of your time and hold yourself accountable. Setting aside time in your day can also help you maintain consistency and prevent distractions while working on your side job. Plan your day the night before: even if you only take 5-15 minutes to think about the top three things you want to do in your side gig the next day, it will be a huge assistance. Set time constraints: Instead of saying, "I'm going to work on my side gig Sunday afternoon," set a particular timeframe, such as 3-5pm, and write it on your calendar. Begin Single-Tasking: In our busy, fast-paced, technology-filled lives, it can be tempting to watch TV, read emails on your phone, and make supper all at once. When it comes to your side hustle, though, productivity gurus encourage single-tasking. In fact, a Stanford University study found that when we multitask, we are slowed down by irrelevant information. Doing only one item at a time allows you to remember more, complete more tasks in less time, pay more attention to your work, and work smarter rather than harder. 7. Set strict deadlines Setting tight project deadlines drives you to make time to focus on your business. You will do whatever it takes to make it happen, such as waking up earlier or avoiding distractions, if you do not allow yourself to be flexible. What objectives do you hope to achieve? When do you hope to complete each goal? Make a list of certain dates. You'll discover that you can usually complete your tasks before the deadline. You may become sidetracked or lose motivation if you do not set realistic deadlines. Set daily, weekly, and monthly objectives and learn what you need to do to achieve them. It is critical to develop smart goals that will help you increase productivity. You'll be able to stay on track and move forward if you have well stated goals. One thing to remember is that you don't have to overthink things or spend too much time creating the perfect plan. Stay flexible and realistic; there's no point in overthinking every detail of your strategy. Keep your deadlines, hold yourself accountable, and don't make excuses. 8. Make Sacrifices as Needed Making compromises is sometimes the only way to find time to start a side business. You may need to cut back on your sleeping hours. If you're a morning person, you might need to get up earlier or go to bed later if you're a night owl. You may need to visit your pals less frequently if you just attend major events such as birthdays, weddings, or engagements. You may limit your weekly television viewing to a couple of hours. 9. Understand ‘How and where to Say No’ "Business chances are like buses; there's always another one coming," Richard Branson once quipped. While it may be tempting to say yes to every chance, saying no frequently may actually benefit you. Saying no allows you to focus on the things you say yes to. It can boost your productivity while also establishing boundaries. Avoid agreeing to every chance or attempting every tactic all at once. Having a laser-like focus will help you attain your goals faster because you will quickly discover how to master things. 10. Take the initiative Starting a side business is difficult. Understand the distinction between having no time and not wanting to make time for your business. We understand how exhausting it can be to work on your business after spending eight or more hours a day at a 9 to 5 doing mind-numbing or physically demanding labour. When Sara Blakely originally started creating her Spanx company, she was a sales representative selling fax machines. When Mark Zuckerberg launched Facebook, he was a college student. Most people do not start a business with unlimited time to dedicate to it. More hours in the day do not reward successful individuals. How they structure their calendars and where they focus their efforts has played a significant part in their current success. The truth is that your demand for time will worsen. You'll have more work to perform as your store grows, more orders to process, and more consumer enquiries to answer to. Prepare to put in the effort necessary to make your aspirations a reality. It's worthwhile. Conclusion Just a few extra hours per week to pursue your true interest can make a significant difference. Make your weekly calendar consistent so that you can block out the same days and hours each week. Consider this, if you can devote just 5 hours each week to your side business, that's 260 hours per year! The most important aspect of success is that YOU MUST DESIRE IT!
