Almost everyone has some important project they can\u2019t seem to get to. Maybe it\u2019s starting a blog, writing a book, or launching a new business initiative. You just can\u2019t seem to find the time to tackle it.<\/p>\n\n

Whenever I speak on the topic of Platform<\/a>, the first question I always get in the Q&A is this: \u201cHow do I make time for building a platform? I am so<\/em> busy; I don\u2019t know how I could possibly add one more thing to my schedule.\u201d
\n
\nI totally get it. My calendar is jam-packed too. But this belief\u2014and that\u2019s what it is, a belief\u2014also keeps us from making the progress we\u2019d like to see.<\/p>\n

Here are seven steps for getting unstuck and finding time for those important projects:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Accept reality.<\/strong> You only have 168 hours a week\u2014the same as everyone else, including presidents, captains of industry, and the homeless man you passed on the way to work. Time is finite. You can\u2019t borrow, beg, or steal more of it.\n

    Starting and finishing that important project is not about time management as much as it is about priority management.<\/em> It\u2019s not so much about efficiency as it is about courage.<\/p>\n

    The question is this: How important is this project compared to everything else in your life?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. Get off your but.<\/strong> No, not your butt, your but<\/em>\u2014that excuse that keeps you mired in the status quo.<\/em>\n
