Launching a side hustle while working a full-time job is rewarding but demanding. Without careful planning, your side gig could end up burning you out, negatively impacting your day job performance. Finding the right balance takes effort but is essential for avoiding exhaustion. Start by defining your priorities and ideal scenario. Determine how much time you want to devote to your side hustle versus your day job. Set boundaries so one doesn’t take over the other. Outline what success looks like for both roles. If you prioritize growing your business over climbing the corporate ladder, or vice versa, it will steer your decisions. Identify any non-negotiables critical for your happiness.<\/span><\/p>\n Schedule your time wisely\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n With your priorities set, create a schedule that reflects them. Block offset hours for your side hustle, and protect that time fiercely. Schedule focused intervals of deep work on your business, while reserving mornings or weekends for your main income source. Use a calendar to divide your time wisely. Don’t let non-essential meetings or tasks bleed into side hustle time. Limit checking emails, social media, and messaging during those blocks. Explain when you are available for meetings and requests versus when you need uninterrupted side hustle time. Setting expectations upfront prevents misunderstandings down the road. Just be sure to meet your work responsibilities first and foremost.<\/span><\/p>\n Find your optimal energy hours<\/b><\/p>\n
