Default 250 hours how to get there

I hope all of you are doing well. I am half way through my IR rating and closing in on 150 hours. Let's assume that I will have 180 by the time I get the rating. What are some ways to build time? Seaplane? Multi-engine rating? How many hours does it take to typically train for the single engine commercial pilot license? I thought of taking an accelerated program after getting my IR, but now I am having second thoughts about it. Especially considering the new legislation, and being in debt, it doesn't seem like a wise thing to do. While I have a full-time job, my plan is to pay as much as I can.
Thanks,
-Pearl
