Sleeping less is one option. However, there's usually more time to be found if you look hard enough.

Do you spend time in front of the All Knowing Eye (TV)? Is that time spent watching Jerry Springer or Murphy Brown (How many Murphy Browns does it take to change a light bulb? SHUT UP And Just Do It!) or some other trivial thing? Do you really need to know what the weather will be like tomorrow? Do you really need to see the nightly horror movie (news)? What do you do during your lunch break? Do you have a RDO? Is reading the newspaper from cover to cover a necessary item?

Basically, if it does not add to your goal, or is not a necessary step in its accomplishment, then it's an unnecessary thing and should be let go.

Deciding what is and isn't important to the accomplishment of your goal can be a tough decision. I mean, what if you stop reading the newspaper and find out later that the first issue you didn't read contained a little tiny bit of info. that could have aided you? You'd feel like kicking yourself.

What mode of transport is used to get to your active income workplace? Walk? Then take the car.

Read an online newspaper instead of spending time at the news stand.

Are other non-family members taking up your time? Do you feel obligated to these people? Drop them. Tell them you're too busy.

Clean your slate of as much time-wasting actions as possible. You'll probably find yourself with a couple of extra hours a day.

I'll leave this one to Jeff Lynn...

Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream
When you see your ship go sailing
When you feel your heart is breaking
Hold tight to your dream.

It's a long time to be gone
Time just rolls on and on
When you need a shoulder to cry on
When you get so sick of trying
Just hold tight to your dream

[CHORUS:]
When you get so down that you can't get up
And you want so much but you're all out of luck
When you're so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over & over & over you could

Accroches-toi a ton rêve (roughly translated: hold on tight (cling) to your dream)
Accroches-toi a ton rêve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir (roughly translated: When you see your boat leaving)
Quand tu sents ton coeur se briser (roughly translated: When you feel your heart is breaking)
Accroches-toi a ton rêve.

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream
When you see the shadows falling
When you hear that cold wind calling
Hold on tight to your dream.

Oh, yeah
Hold on tight to your dream
Yeah, hold on tight...
To your dream.
