I used to say, “I don’t have enough time.” In reality, I just had my priorities wrong, and I have since significantly improved my time management skills.

So much so that I have been asked a few times how I consistently post YouTube videos and blog posts, write a newsletter every week, and exercise nearly every day while having a full-time job.

Well, in this article, I want to break down my process and hopefully offer some tips to anyone who is struggling to manage all their priorities.

What time have I got?

I always start by auditing my schedule and seeing what time I have to really play with.

As I have a full-time job as a data scientist, Monday to Friday, 9am — 5:30pm, are immediately blocked out. Sure, there could be pockets during the day, like lunch, where I could try other things, but I can’t rely on that consistently.
