The biggest hurdle to pursuing goals that I hear is "I just don't have the time", and that is real life. We all only have 24 hours in a day and the the inability to make some trade offs. All of us need sleep. Some claim they need less, though that's a different topic, but sleep is non-negotiable. Most of us need a job to keep ourselves financially afloat. On top of that are a multitude of important things that genuinely should take up more of our time - families, cooking, chores, hobbies, physical activity, etc - none of those should be neglected.
I am in the camp of people who have all of those responsibilities. At this point, I am not willing to take on the risk of leaving my 9-5, I have a wonderful wife and beautiful daughter whose relationships I am not willing to neglect. I require 8 hours of sleep. Call me high maintenance, but I can't go on less for very long. I understand the importance of health, exercise, hobbies, home upkeep.
The real issue for most is time wasters. I know we all hear this all the time, so I find it helpful for myself when I break down my own week to find out just how much _extra_ time I have.
I generally sleep somewhere from 11:00pm to 7:00am. This is not strict, it varies, but that's usually the 8 hours I count on. While I start work at 9, there is time needed to get ready for work, help get my daughter up and ready for school, and for some, the commute to work (I'm fortunate enough to work from home, but this isn't the case for most), so I'll assume 7-9 has no extra time. It can and does sometimes, but we'll go conservative.
After getting off work at 5:00pm, the rest of the time until around 8:00pm when my daughter goes to bed is almost always reserved for spending time with my family, cooking dinner, etc. That leaves me 8:00pm to 11:00pm to do whatever I want to do. I have those three hours every day of the week, so that alone leaves me 21 hours to do ANYTHING. Suppose I spend an hour a day of that doing chores, that still leaves 14 hours. Suppose I spend 1 or 2 nights a week on a date night or going out with friends, that still leaves 10-12 hours. On Saturday and Sunday, my daughter rests/naps from around 1:00pm to 3:00pm, though sometimes I use that time for hobbies.
10-25 hours is a lot of time, and that is each week. It really doesn't require much sacrifice.
Time wasters are great in moderation. Sometimes I just need to turn my brain off for an evening. When I do though, I need to decide beforehand that that is how my time will be spent. If I start scrolling, gaming, or streaming without thinking about it, more often than not, I'm not stopping until it's time for bed. Again, that is fine, it just needs to be a choice.
The point is that if there is a goal you are pursuing or would like to pursue but you don't have enough time, take a look at your schedule and consider how much time might be dying to time wasters. You might have more time than you think that just needs to be managed.
