When a Developer Starts to Hats the Computer
Developer hustling |
As a developer working a 9 to 5 and then continuing to grind on a side hustle afterwards, I often feel incredibly stressed. I can't quite pinpoint if it's the lack of sleep and exercise or the unhealthy food I consume, but I'm starting to despise working with the computer. Even just touching the mouse and navigating to the app I need feels overwhelming.
Sometimes, I wonder if I should take a break from chasing that dream startup I've been envisioning and just focus on achieving a healthier work-life balance with my day job. The constant hustle can be exhausting, and I'm beginning to question whether pushing through is the best path or if stepping back might help me recharge and ultimately bring my startup vision to life with renewed energy and clarity.
Balancing the demands of a full-time job, a side hustle, and family responsibilities can be overwhelming. I have family that I don't want to miss the time we together, adding another layer of pressure. My dream of breaking free from this daily grind and achieving something greater keeps me motivated, but it's tough. The desire to support my loved ones while pursuing my passion feels like a constant tug-of-war. Sometimes, I wonder if I'll ever find the right balance to make my dream a reality without sacrificing the well-being of those I care about the most.
