Passive Income Journey : How to Create Just a Little More Time
The Passive Income Time Hack: Urgent vs. Important
Let’s get something straight-
We can’t create more time.
No matter who you are or where you live — we all get the same 24 hours.
So if you want to earn passive income outside of a traditional job, you don’t need more hours.
You need to use the hours you already have more intentionally.
And that means mastering the difference between what’s urgent and what’s important.
🧠 Understanding the Urgent/Important Matrix
Let’s break it down-
- Important: Something that holds long-term value or significance
- Urgent: Something that requires immediate attention
Most of us confuse the two, which leads to wasted time and missed opportunities.
But when you sort your daily tasks into the right categories, you’ll find more space to build passive income — even with a packed schedule.
💡 Not sure how to begin your passive income journey? Start here with a free course.
🔺 Category One: Urgent AND Important
This is the top priority zone.
These are tasks that are both -
- Time-sensitive
- Crucial to your well-being or income
Examples -
- Paying rent or bills
- Responding to a medical emergency
- Securing food, safety, or shelter
- Performing the job that currently earns your income
Handle these first. No debate. They keep your world spinning.
🔷 Category Two: Important but NOT Urgent
This is where most growth happens — but only if you protect the time for it.
These aren’t emergencies, but they -
- Make your life better long-term
- Help you escape the grind of category one
Examples-
- Working out
- Learning a new skill
- Planning your next income stream
- Building a passive income system

🌀 Category Three: Neither Urgent Nor Important
This one gets us all.
It’s full of the stuff that’s easy, fun, and mindless — but doesn’t move us forward.
Examples -
- Scrolling social media
- Watching TV
- Browsing the internet aimlessly
- Endless group texts
These aren’t evil — they’re just category three.
They belong after categories one and two are addressed.
(Full disclosure: I spend too much time in category three during football season. I’m working on it.)
✅ My Rule for Time Management
Simple:
Earn your way to category three.
Once I’ve taken care of category one and invested in something from category two, I get to relax and enjoy category three guilt-free.
It’s not about deprivation. It’s about earning your downtime by doing the work that builds your future.
💡 The Real Takeaway
You don’t need to quit your job today to start building passive income.
You just need to control more of your time by understanding how to prioritize it.
Here’s the play-
- 🔺 Handle the urgent and important (Category 1)
- 🔷 Schedule time for what truly matters (Category 2)
- 🌀 Minimize the distractions (Category 3 — until later)
Do that consistently, and you’ll eventually buy back your time with the income you create.
