Hi, I'll be arriving to Istanbul's Attaturk airport and I'll need to catch a flight at Sabiha Gokcen. I'll arrive at attaturk at around 3 or 3:30 pm and then I'll have to catch my flight at Sabiha Gokcen, which will depart at 9:50 pm. Will I have enough time to catch a bus from attaturk to taksim square and then take another bus to sabiha gokcen or should I hire a shuttle bus to take me? Thanks!

A taxi from Ataturk is the quickest option to get to Taksim. We took a taxi from Ataturk to our hotel in the old town, about 25 minutes. You should have plenty of time to sample Taksim and then hail a taxi from one of the nearby hotels to get to Sahiba Gokcen. You can post your question on tripadvisor.com, Istanbul forum, and Istanbul experts can give you other options like the bus routes, time to each destination, and the cost of each bus ride.
Take a taxi. From Ataturk to Istiklal St. (which Taksim Square is on) is approximately 30 minutes by taxi and costs approximately 50 Lira (22-23 USD).
