How to Prioritize Work When You Have Too Much Time

When you have all the time in the world but you’re not using it to your advantage

Everyone talks about how to work on your side hustle or passion when you don’t have much time and a full-time job.

However, chasing the life of your dreams can be just as tricky when you have too much time.

If this space you have to work is new to you because you dropped out of college or were fired, the adjustment might throw you off.

You know exactly what you want to do with your life, but the amount of time available to you is daunting.

It’s so overwhelming you wish you had limited time so you’d be forced to work. Deadlines have always worked for you, but now you don’t have one, so what do you do?

I’m twenty-one, not in college, and I don’t have what people call a “normal job.” Well, it took me three years to get to the productive state I’m in now, but I found my groove, and I can help you find yours.

Time is available to you at every corner, waiting for you to fill it with work or distractions. I’ve learned how to fill it with work more than distractions, but predictably, not every day is easy.
