How to Find Time | Scott H Young
Time is rarely the problem
Time is limited, but, your attention, energy, and enthusiasm are more limited than your time.
Start creating habits. Inertia is a bigger enemy than a lack of time. Start doing the task for a few minutes a day. If you have only 10 minutes, use it. If your time is fragmented, cut your task up and spread it out. You'll be surprised how much materializes.386 SAVES

A list of unfulfilled things isn’t a problem to eliminate. It is a challenge.
- Prioritize your goals.
- Do one thing that matters out of all the possibilities.
- Say no to all the things that don't meet your criteria.
- Be content with the one thing you did instead of being unhappy with all the things you did not do.
Our fears drive us
We say we have no time, but we really fear getting started or making a mistake.
Face your fears first. If it is important, do it. If it is unpleasant, do it now. You'll find that it was not so scary after all.

Set priorities
Instead of browsing social media, use that time to exercise or do something that actually helps you.
Set your priorities and the time for them. Once scheduled, they will become second nature....
It doesn’t take that long
Once you decide what you want to do, it takes little time to do it. For exercise, fifteen minutes is all it takes to get your heart pumping, and you're done for the day.
Sharing too soon
Even though you want to share with the world that you've gone to the gym or started a diet, don't share your progress until you've done it for three or six months. It will keep you going for longer and make you consistent.

Ways to improve your life
There are a few different ways you can go about setting a goal or creating a new habit.
- Target the minimum output. You focus on always doing at least a little bit so t...
When to Focus on the Minimum
Minimum targeting works well for establishing long-term habits.
A goal of, for instance, doing fifty push-ups every day might not be ideal for fitness, but doing something is better than doing nothing.
Another reason to focus on the minimum is that it assumes the difficulty is in starting. To start a process can often be the hardest. Then you want to set a lower threshold to make starting as easy as possible.
When to Target the Average
Focusing on the average makes sense when you're hoping to sustain something, even if it is not always a perfectly easy and consistent output.
It works when you are already putting in a bit of effort, but want to improve that effort over the long-term.

Don’t Resist
When everything is going right, you’re going with the flow. When everything is not going right, you’re trying to go against it.
So instead of feeling frustrated, choose to take it easy. Have that ice cream. Sleep in. Don’t work out. Eventually, you’ll want to get back to your productive routines.
