Time is a precious commodity for anyone wishing to undertake projects. How do you free up time for action? How do you move your projects forward? How can you get a little closer to your life’s dreams every day?

You’re probably asking yourself this question if you’re trying to develop a project alongside your usual professional activity and family life.

It’s not always easy to find time for yourself in your daily life!

But it’s essential if you are to succeed in your projects.

Time is often consumed by obligations of all kinds, lost in transport, and you say to yourself: “I don’t have the time to take care of my own projects”.

In this article, I’m going to show you how it’s possible to free up time for your projects. Here are 3 keys to getting rid of time.

1/ FREE UP TIME BY LIMITING UNNECESSARY TIME-CONSUMING ACTIVITIES
Worldwide, the average person spends a total of 6 hours and 37 minutes looking at a screen each day

Impressive, isn’t it?

These are just averages, of course, but the figures are there, and they’re real. Granted, teenagers certainly spend more time on social networks and in front of the TV than adults. But I’m giving you these figures to make you aware that time is sometimes wasted without us realizing it.

That’s why I really invite you to analyze the time you spend in front of your TV or computer consulting social networks or other news sites.

Depending on the results of your investigations, you’ll see that you have a more or less important source of time to gain so that you can finally get on with your projects and concentrate on what really matters to you.

The distractions caused by television and social networks distract us from our goals.

They let time slip by without bringing us anything.

Once you’ve distanced yourself from such distractions, you’ll get into the habit of devoting your time to your projects, and it will no longer be an effort.

What’s more, you’ll be better able to focus on your project, because you won’t be influenced by all the negative or catastrophic ideas conveyed by the media.

2/ TO FREE UP TIME, TAKE SMALL STEPS
Freeing up time for your projects doesn’t mean you have to spend 2 hours a day on them.

Finding 2 hours a day may indeed be difficult.

If you spend 15-20 minutes a day on your project, you’ll find it much easier to free up that time, for example, by cutting back on social networking, news or any other activity that doesn’t do you much good.

By doing a little each day, you’ll find it easier to find the time you need, and your project will gradually move forward.

This approach will make a huge difference in the long term.

3/ DRAW UP AN ACTION PLAN TO FREE UP YOUR TIME
You feel that your project isn’t progressing fast enough by taking small, short actions.

Defining and following an action plan will help you free up your time.

Not so sure if you’ve drawn up an action plan that lets you know where you stand.

The accumulation of small actions is a powerful motor for going far.

Organization is also essential to avoid wasting time and focus immediately on the essentials.

The action plan allows you to prioritize your actions and break down time-consuming ones into stages.

So if you spend 15 minutes on your project, you know you’re working on it, and that motivates you for the rest.

Short time is also more efficient, because you focus on one task at a time. Your focus is complete, and that’s what’s important for success.

The Pomodoro method is an excellent way of focusing on one task at a time.

Think about what you’re going to do each week.

This will free up time in advance and considerably increase your chances of sticking to your schedule.

Write them down in black and white, as this will commit you to carrying them out and help you avoid procrastination.

Do you feel you’re wasting your time on certain activities? If your project is really important to you, how do you free up time to act on it?
