Where Do You Find The Time?

I'm a Newbie here. I feel like I'm lost in space.

There are many stars out there and they have planets and people live on the planets.

Looking at the top hubbers, you research and publish on average 1 to 2 quality hubs every single day, but not only that you read other people's hubs and leave comments, you answer comments on your own hubs, and (as if that wasn't enough) you have lots of other things going on in your lives.

If I stepped into your life would I discover a time TARDIS where the 17 waking hours that the majority of us have are somehow stretched endlessly into an infinite amount of time?

Is this what I need to do to compete?

Find one good idea per day.
Research that idea.
Organize my thoughts.
Express those thoughts in quality English.
Make them interesting so that people will want to read them.
Preferably with some kind of commercial angle.
Type them up.
Find pictures and video, or preferably make original.
Learn how best to present them.
Read other hubs
Leave comments
Answer comments on my hubs (if ever there are any)
Go to my day job.
Have a family life.
Have a social life.
Go on holiday
Pursue other interests

OK I give in, where do I find the time?

...and to other Newbies. Do you feel lost too?
...and to the top hubbers. Were you lost in the beginning. How did you gravitate?

Please don't take it so personally. My first few hubs got NO traffic until I registered one and was crawled by Google. It just takes time. I tried to stick with my main topic, and venture off occasionally when I had something I wanted to express, which I now think was wrong.

I don't have time to do this much either. I'm building a website and trying to get traffic to it, working a full time job, taking care of a house and yard and five animals by myself, and trying to get all this done and still get my required 7 hours of sleep a night. If you publish a few really good hubs, you'll get some attention. Try putting the links to what you consider your best hub in your signature on forums, or Stumble or Digg (I must admit, Stumble is much better to me than Digg). Anywhere you can post for free, do it.

There's a hub on here somewhere with the best free networking sites. Look it up and read it.

The key really is CONTENT, CONTENT, CONTENT! Quality over quantity. Never consider a hub "done". Go back in a week or so and look at it as if you were someone else reading it. Does it tell you everything you need to know, or leave you with questions? If it leaves you with questions, go ahead and answer them in your hub, or expand it to include other sides of your subject.

I've redone quite a few of my hubs, going so far as to make one set into a free online course MONTHS after I wrote it, making one hub lead into another, instead of having a Link Table on the first page.

I'm rambling, but I hope this helped.

Why is there a need to compete?

Thanks for your comments.

Dafla - thanks for your "rambles" which were really lucid and helpful.

Patty - I wondered if someone would pick up on the compete word. I'm not really competitive at all but seeing the top hubbers(of which you're the top one) vying for that 100 spot. Do you think about being competitive or are you just doing your thing.

I also see that you take part in a ton of competitive pastimes!
