the balancing act of side projects and day jobs: (alien.top)

thinking about how we juggle our projects and day jobs. it's a dance, right?

finding time for your passion while handling the 9-to-5. it's about smart scheduling, setting small goals, and sometimes just pushing through tiredness. but the payoff? seeing your own idea come to life.

how do you guys manage your time and energy between work and your side projects?

Find yourself a founder buddy, it’s pretty motivating

Slow and steady wins the race. It's easy to burn out. Im developing a web app. Maybe invest 2 hours on a good day and use my commute times to review and flag things for improvement. Even then there are still periods where i dont touch it for a month

Don't burn out is rule number 1

Rule number 2 is release something. Side projects have a tendency to drag on forever until you lose motivation. Focus on getting it out there. Then at least if you give up, you'll still have something you can show for it.
