I've found that I keep coming across tradeoffs like this, though mine are more pronounced. My whole life I've been obsessed with music, I'm quite a good musician personally (studied it at University) and still really enjoy it. The problem is that I'm also really into business and startups and, through the former, have become quite obsessed with learning as much about web development as I possibly can. This has eaten up a whole bunch of my time and taken me away from my work as a musician and a recording engineer. I'm still trying to balance the two, and then within the startup side, balance being a dev and a business guy. It's certainly not the easiest thing in the world, especially when my artistic passion is not so related to my startups - though some of the skills transfer. In the end I'm just trying to make sure that I allocate at least a few solid hours each week to just playing/writing and enjoying music. It feels like a relationship to be honest, but I guess this is what most artist's have felt at some point when they realised that they were also good at and interested in something that would help them earn money. Are there any other HNer's who are artists (of any form) and running startups? How do you guys balance your time?
