To help wake up early so I can work on #sideprojects in the morning, I bought this vibrating watch, it was cheap but works surprisingly well. Funny it’s for potty training but works great to “calmly wake you up in the morning without disturbing others” https://t.co/Oz1I7m26nx

It’s important to remember for #sideprojects there’s no silver bullet, everyone has different work and home commitments, it’s a process of trial and error to see what works for you, things change and you’ll need to adapt. Treat your side projects like a marathon not a sprint.🏃

Days off are also a great time to work on #sideprojects, use your regular holidays or take personal time off so you can focus, just be sure to turn off work notifications and messages, otherwise you’ll get pulled back into your work stuff. 💼

Weekends are a good time for #sideprojects, I recommend picking either Saturday or Sunday but not both because having downtime is really important, otherwise you’ll get burnt out and stop doing it. Just like with exercise, you need rest and recovery time. 💪

Evenings are another time for #sideprojects, add it to your calendar and treat it like an appointment. I personally found this time challenging when you’re already exhausted from the day, often have had trouble sleeping after, so make sure you have downtime before you sleep.😴

Mornings are great for #sideprojects, your mind is fresh, so set an alarm and get up earlier. Others are still asleep, so it’s a good time to work without distraction. Remember an hour and half every weekday comes to a full work day every week, each month a full week of work. ☕️

Working part time is also a great way to bring #sideprojects to life, the ideal scenario is having entire days every week you can dedicate to them. It can be challenging if you’re still working everyday because work meetings and messages can interrupt your progress and focus. 💬

To bring your #sideprojects to life, there’s five ways to make time each with pros and cons: mornings, evenings, weekends, days off, part time. The most important thing is that time is scheduled and dedicated, otherwise you’ll lose momentum and other things will take priority. 🗓
