I literally have no time, yet find time for major side projects and freelancing
I work as a fulltime developer, have a wife, two kids and one on the way. My wife also works part time
The biggest roadblock is sleep. Here is my daily schedule:
5:30 Wake and Meditation
7:30 Make Breakfast for everyone
8:30 Start work
5:30 End Work
6:30 Make Dinner
7:00 Eat Dinner
8:00 Play time with Kids
9:30 Get kids in Bed
10:00 Do dishes
10:30 Side Project time!
12:30 Go to bed.
Repeat!
During the last 3 years I have built:
http://wellhub.heroku.com/ http://wellhub.heroku.com/
https://www.targetmobi.com/ https://www.targetmobi.com/
From my perspective, anyone without a wife/husband and kids in tow really has little excuses. Generally the issue is either being overcommitted or just laziness/procrastination.
You will only understand that if you someday have your back against the wall wishing you could back back to your pre-married pre-kid lifestyle.
- mping 14y agoDude, you're the sh!! You sleep avg of 5h/night? That's good. For me, what works is ditching what's irrelevant like TV and the likes.
- randiSP 14y agoI usually get notes about design decision for my side projects during the day even when I'm in my daily job. Yes, I know that's not cool but my daily job is pretty much boring. Offtopic: Pretty amazed about your wellhub project. How is it doing? Any sales? Actually I'm working on something similar and would like to extrapolate your experience to my case.
