#108 // How I built a knitting habit with zero free time

“This sounds great, but I don’t have TIME to knit.” I hear this constantly—and I get it. I’m a homeschool mom running a business with approximately zero free hours in my day. But I still knit almost every day.   Here’s the secret: you don’t need an hour to knit. You don’t even need 30 minutes. You need 5-10 minutes. And you already have that time—you’re just spending it on your phone.   In this episode, I’m sharing exactly how I built a knitting habit with zero free time using habit stacking—attaching knitting to things I already do every day.   What You’ll Learn:

• Why you don’t need to “find” time—you need to replace phone time with knitting time
• 5 specific habit stacks you can use starting today (morning coffee, TV time, car waiting, bedtime routine, podcast listening)
• How to make knitting stupidly easy so you’ll actually stick with it
• Why starting with 5 minutes (not 30) is the key to building lasting habits
• The #1 mistake people make when trying to build a new habit (and how to avoid it)
