step 1, get a job, just anything that pays the bills and allows for some time to develop your own projects.
step 2- cut your projects down to 1, focus
step 3 - timeblock and set focused times to specifically make measurable incremental progress. keep focused.
Best advice ive heard today
I love this but struggle with this too, it’s like I offer a few different creative services, filmmaking is my main one but we also offer websites too. If I completely stop websites and just do video then I lose a lot of potential clients and money. Never been able to really work this out
I would recommend replacing get a job with start freelancing. You can modulate freelancing according to your availability.
What sort of freelancing do you know of that could bring in similar income to a part time job?
For a beginner freelancer is not recommended, assuming that OP is a developer, it's gonna be difficult as fuck for him, when you work as a jr developer (even mid) for a company, you have a whole team by your side where you can ask or depend on, working alone as a developer you have to be everything yourself meaning Front/back end, QA and Dev Ops at once.
Freelancing in some cases is recommended for people who have already years of exp and a lot of projects developed.
I completely agree with your insights!
Excellent
I love this, a good way to rephrase it (change the mindset) is to view your employer as a client. If you can land that job, you can land any client
I’m gonna add doing virtual co working to stay focused and not feel alone
Everyone just needs these 3 steps. And keep grinding! You will be successful for sure.
This is excellent
Damn i want you as my personal coach
Totally agree. Most of the times, having too many projects causes burnout. OP can just focus on one thing at a time. Here's a good article mainly focusing on Understanding Signs And Recovery Strategies
