Ask HN: How do you find time?

3 points by payamb ↗ HN
I'm a on 9-5 job , 9:30 to 6 to be accurate! and I've been trying hard to work on my side projects, I'm really ambitious about them and i try to , at least , do a bit of work everyday.

In the mean time, I really like to learn and play with some new stuff, Improve my skills and actually feel I'm getting a better programmer. But obviously the side project I'm working on is a priority for me now.

But its frustrating , I don't have enough energy, when i get home, at best i can do 1 hour or so, which is a progress toward my goals, but very slow.

How do you find time to work on your ideas or side projects ? How you manage your time to learn new stuff ?

I outsource the parts I don't want to work on.

do you use any freelancing platform ? or do you do it locally ? For example for the front end ( design + responsive ), where i lack the skills and its the most time consuming part for me, it can be tricky to find right person for the job.

Right now I'm just testing out conversions. Seems to be going ok. I'm kind of a just good enough type. so, I'm focused on marketing to desktop users first. I have a response site but it's pretty simple. 1. bought responsive landing page for $13 with a button to click and google ads/analytics to test whether there is some demand. plus a wufoo form as the second page to collect leads.
