1h a day

It’s come down to this.
Just one hour a day. Of real deep work.
If I’m lucky.
And that’s assuming I’m in any shape to do deep work. Usually I’m tired already, even though I just woke up. Spent from the day before juggling 4 jobs. I’m getting used to the new routine now, after one month. But the fatigue in mind and body remains. And motivation drained.
I might have found a reliable means to feed my family. But in doing so, I seem to have lost the opportunity to make a significant dent on my indie hacking dreams.
Such a hard trade-off.
Not sure how to proceed.
Burning the candle on both ends seems to be a recipe for burnout. Yet, what else can I do?
I don’t know.
But I’ll sit with not knowing for now.
Maybe one month is still too early to find an opening where I can do both. It was impossible in the first week. Now in my fourth, I’m already feeling more settled in, and starting to see more potential gaps in my already over-optimised and over-scheduled day.
Maybe…
