The first thing you should probably do to manage your time and achieve your goal is to decide how much time you need to invest in your goal each week. Once you know how many hours you need the task will become much easier and clearer in your mind.

Let’s assume you need to work on your goal 16 hours a week. Now, take a careful look at how you’ve been using your time each day. You are going to find those 16 hours a week somewhere in your daily life!

The time you can use each day may vary because of things you’re already committed to. So, begin by identifying which parts of each day you can reassign to your goal plan. Remember, your target is 16 hours a week. Staying with your plan will probably be easier if you spread the hours throughout the week instead of trying to find two or three big chunks of time.

Another valuable part of assigning your time this way is that you’re designing a plan that you can follow week after week after week…well, you get the idea! Soon, you’ll have a new routine and you’ll be putting the effort into your goal in your new, “normal”, way of living.

Remember, be sure to keep time in your plan for your family and others who are part of your life. You’re coming up with a new routine, but you still need to maintain a balance of the things that are important in your life!
