Work - Life - Side Project triangle. Can be balanced ?

Viktoria Bors-Pajuste - Oct 16 '22 - - Dev Community

Introduction / My background

I am a junior developer, started to work full time (first dev job). I am proactive and currently working on my own project, hosting a practice class and collaborating in an other project. Moreover I am a mother and wife.

How I suppose to find the balance?

I know, I should just say no to some side gigs. But I am this enthusiastic junior, who sees an opportunity jumps right in…

I know, I am this typical meme below…

Side project meme

“Worst” things, once I start something I must take it to the end. I can’t give up or leave it unfinished.

We will see what future brings and how I will manage all the gigs. But until then I am curious about other’s opinion and advice within the topic.

So How do you find the balance between work-life-other projects?

Feel free to share stories, advice or anything related to it😊
