how do you juggle full-time work with writing AND hobbies?

I just block in the time and tick off my to-dos.

But it’s always the minimum effective dose. I know my limits and I try not to exceed them. Think working at 85% capacity for each domain. Less is more.

I’m always adjusting with trial and error too. I can usually write for 1-2 hours a day, read for about 30-90mins a day, lift twice a week, BJJ 2-3 times a week, personal to-dos get put on the back end usually.

It’s just about knowing your limits and always moving forward, no matter how small the steps might seem. Hope this helps!

Thanks for sharing! I found it hard writing with a full-time job, much less fitting in hobbies etc. Sometimes I didn't feel like doing anything after work. But yeah, small progress is still progress!

Clarity to the core 💪💪💪

People who get "everything they've ever wanted" in life aren't special. They just had clarity and did the work
