If a surgeon can find time to dance, what's your excuse, really? Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nReally, reader? Is that really all you do? Study, sleep, and attend a couple of extra-curricular events a week? Are you sure you didn't binge-watch the last season of Breaking Bad the first instance you had a few hours of free time? Okay, I'll stop with the questions and get to the point.\r\n\r\nI've got the exact same problem that you do. I never have any time to try new things. I've compiled a list of ways that have helped me \u2013 and might help you \u2013 make time for the things that you love. No excuses, people. All of my suggestions take a bit of effort, but in the long run, it'll be worth it.\r\n\r\n1. Wake up earlier than you normally would<\/strong>, and do what you can\u2019t fit into your regular day then.\r\n\r\n2. Make time before bed.<\/strong> My 10-minutes-before-bed time is my time. Whether you\u2019re making time to bake a cake, go for a swim, or start on a personal project, I promise you, you\u2019ll go to bed feeling a lot more relaxed than you would if you just hopped into bed after pounding out a 5,000 word essay.\r\n\r\n3. Turn one of your social media \"breaks\" into productive catch-up time:<\/strong> Instead of spending my break time mindlessly scrolling down my Twitter feed, I've been updating my personal blog or reading interesting articles online.\r\n\r\n4. TTC Rides:<\/strong> My TTC time is usually when I\u2019ll catch up with new music and draw pictures on my phablet<\/a> (once upon a time, I had dreams of being an artist).\r\n\r\n5. Treat your hobbies like priorities.<\/strong> We\u2019ve all been forced to put things that we enjoy on hold while we finish the important stuff. We promise ourselves that we\u2019ll make more time for a, b, and c the minute summer, or Christmas, or reading week comes around. I learned the hard way that if you aren\u2019t willing to make time for what you love when you\u2019re busy, you\u2019ll probably never have the time.\r\n\r\n

No you won't. Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nNow, excuse me. While you wait until Christmas to start reading that new series, I\u2019ve got a life to live.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
