Side Hustling Creators Need A Routine
Here is my exact side hustling routine

My routine is effortless and very straightforward. I am guaranteed 13.5 hours/week to work on my side hustle. So, let’s break it down:
- Sunday — Saturday (7 days/week): 5:30 am to 7:00 am. (10.5 hrs)
- Tuesdays: 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm (2 hrs)
- Thursdays: 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm (1 hr)
That is my schedule for working on my side hustle. I do fit more in occasionally, but this is what I can expect.
How I use this time:
I use this time to create content and work on my books. Here is what comes of this weekly time:
- Daily posts on Medium
- Three posts on Substack
- Daily posts for Self-Publishing Daily
- Weekly posts for my blog
- Book projects
That comes to 16 pieces of content a week, plus my books.
There is some overlap because I write many of my first drafts with my regular content.
I repurpose content, so some blog and Substack posts become Medium posts.
But that’s how I do it.
