Managed to allocate 4 hrs/week for a sport
After 4 years of trail and errors finally launched a product that is generating revenue
Next year Goals
continue the 4 hrs/week for a sport to sweat
join a startup by first quarter
restrict to 10-15 hrs/week for the current side product
work on another side project
Realized I didn't have to care about why my experience couldn't fit the narrative of someone else who had gone through a 'similar situation'.
Don't be judgy about someone else's experience, instead appreciate them sharing it with you. You don't have to add "I have experienced/understand that too" to every sentence from others.
It's OK to not relate sometimes and understand that's why you are you, not x.
About 25% and 20%. Also structured time from individual hours to bigger time block commitments, and I invoice in advance rather than at the end of the month.
