Comment on Ask HN: How do you make time?Comments−jsnk12yDisclaimer: I am only 26, got no kids. In a long distance relationship, and I spend 1/2 to 1 hour on the phone.Some things I found useful are- Audiobook during commutes that's usually 2 hours/day.- 1 hour a day rule. I try to spend at least 1 hour a day working towards a goal.- Cook less. Cooking is usually much healthier, but cooking takes up a lot of time.- Use stayfocused chrome extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stayfocusd/laankej...). I wasted too much time on Reddit and HN. I give myself an hour on these sites per day.As for Rails specific improvements, I think creating your own blogging platform is a good challenge which covers a lot of conventional problems.
