Anyone else working on a side project while having a 9-5 job?

I’m stuck at a boring 9-5 but I’ve been tinkering with a side project on weekends. It’s tough balancing both and my social life is kinda suffering. How do you guys handle it?

Remember, it's all about the grind! Every weekend you spend on your side hustle puts you one step closer to making it your main gig. Hang in there!

I'm just starting my side project and already feel overwhelmed. Good to know I'm not alone. How do you even stay motivated after a long day at the 9-5? I feel like all I wanna do is crash on the couch.

Balancing is freaking hard, I can relate. I'm always tired but what helps is at least one day a week completely off from anything related to work or side projects. Even if it's just binging Netflix.

Have you thought about time-blocking? Allocate specific chunks of your day just for the side project. Even if it's just an hour before work or during lunch, every bit helps. Also, tools like Trello or Asana can help you stay organized and focused.

I get where you’re coming from! I use weekends but have a STRICT cutoff Saturday night. Family and friends know weekdays are a no-go unless it's an emergency. Helps keep things balanced!

Who needs a social life when you can have two jobs? Lol jk. Seriously tho, try to squeeze some 'you' time. Mental burnout is real and it'll take a toll on both your main job and side project if you don't manage it well.

Balancing a 9-5 with a side project is always challenging. My advice is to schedule your side project time in blocks and treat it with the same seriousness as your job. Also, try to find a co-founder or someone to share the burden. Having a support system is key.

Yeah, same boat here. It’s hard but what’s been helping me is setting strict boundaries on my time. Like after 6 pm on weekdays, no work on the side project. Sundays are a no-go too unless there's a deadline. Balancing it makes a huge diff!
