Another thing I forgot to mention, in line with "Old and Horrified"'s comment: try to find a time building buddy. You can fly along as co-pilot on his flights and vice-versa. It's not like you can credit any of that time BUT, it's valuable experience, increases safety and also is more fun than doing it all alone. Also this can be another way to fly further away: one pilot flies the out-route, the other the in-route.
