Finding Spare Time

I have talked about this time and time again, trying to get things back on track every chance I can; But with kids those plans always side to the side. In today's world there is a lot of things to get your kids into after school programs, sports, library programs and so much more. With all this and work its hard to get free time in order to do some hobbies. So what is one to do? Well time management is a major thing to learn and use once you get things going more and more can get done, its like having a very organized work area.
I myself have been watching my how I spend my time, and looking to change some thing up in order to get more done. One big thing I have noticed is that since I commute to work I have a a good bit of spare time. My bus ride in is about fifty minutes one way there is a good bit of time to write or work on planning things out. So what I need to do is get my laptop back up and working now I don't have a very new laptop so you all know that I will be using a version of Linux on it in which will help with power management in which will make sure I have enough battery power for the ride in, lately there has been many delays and the commute making the ride on the bus over an hour and half. Now most newer laptops can last for up to four hours, now I will be reusing my old HP DV5 in which the battery only last about an hour and half on full running, with using the lowest display brightness and having the wi-fi turned off I should be able to get about two hours or a bit more. Since I am using blog spot using a free app for writing a word doc or even an HTML document then come home and copy the article from the freeware app into the website and upload.

Now that helps use up time for about two of my hours in the day were I am stuck unable to do anything else but wait for the driver to get where I am heading. Knowing where to get a spare thirty minutes in your day to help out with task you want to do is key to getting more done. Even waking up 30 minutes earlier in the morning in order to do something might seem like nothing will get done and in the first week there would be nothing until your body and mind get into the habit. Even getting up early and reading a book while you eat your breakfast can help you get more done. Its all about getting your mind going and onto the task at hand using this spare time to clear up your want to do list with just little tweak to your daily list of things to do.
