Congrats on making it, Matt.
I quit my job to focus on the side hustle full-time back at the start of 2020 (back when we all thought it was going to be like any other year).
The hardest and most stressful part by far was renegotiating boundaries with my wife. Being physically around one another all the time, and having no set hours is a recipe for relationship woes. Having our first kid during the lockdowns (we're in Melbourne, AU) didn't help either.
Almost 3 years later, life is great, but for a time there it was the worst it had ever been. Make sure to take the time to negotiate boundaries, as all problems become work problems when you run your own business.
- matt1 4y agoAppreciate the heads up here. I've been working remotely since I left the Air Force a decade ago so it won't be much of a change, though it is going to be interesting to see how my schedule changes now that I now don't have to juggle contracting anymore. Any other suggestions are welcome!
- yamazakiwi 4y agoI haven't been able to work remotely so I'm genuinely curious how that has affected you. Can you provide any examples out of curiosity... I'm assuming they're quite innocuous.
- leoqa 4y agoThis is my experience exactly but I was remote from work during covid, with a newborn in the other room and no one in the house was sleeping. Took awhile but things got better. Just in time, we have another on the way.
