Finding Spare Time

Most writers
write their first books
‘in their spare time.’

Most business builders
build their first businesses
‘in their spare time.’

But-but-but,
you say,
you don’t have
‘spare time.’

You do have spare time.
I can guarantee it.

I wrote a
10,000 word short story
a month
while working
a 70 hour plus
a week job.

How did I do this?

I wrote while I waited.
I wrote while
I was standing in line
at the grocery store.
I wrote while
waiting for meetings
to start.
I wrote while
waiting for
the pasta water
to boil.
I wrote while
on the toilet,
while on the bus,
while on hold
with the banks.

It all added up
to a short story worth
of polished writing
a month.

“Ordering in
instead of
cooking.

Working from home
instead of
commuting.

Using a dishwasher
instead of
the sink…

All that time saved.
Now that
you’ve got the time back,
you get to choose
what’s truly important to you.

How will you spend it?

[Time spent on
TV and social media
has gone up
every year of my lifetime].”

You have the spare time.
