How do you actually fit your hobbies into a busy week? What's your trick?

A natural way to answer

I try to carve out a small slot most days rather than waiting for a big chunk of free time. I'll squeeze in some reading on my commute, for example. The key is to make the most of the little gaps.

Key phrases to use

  • carve out — to deliberately make time for something despite being busy“I carve out an hour every morning to write.”
  • squeeze in — to find time for something in an already full schedule“Can you squeeze in a quick call?”
  • make the most of — to use or enjoy something as fully as possible“Let's make the most of the sunshine.”
