Striking A Balance Between Full Time Employment And Side Hustle
Striking A Balance Between Full Time Employment And Side Hustle
Things go quite difficult when you need to keep up with a full time job and side hustle. To a very reasonable extent, it’s not so easy, especially when the chemistry in one’s body is reacting negatively to these effects. Perhaps, you might have had these thoughts telling you to stop, but instead of stopping, you continued because bills have to be paid and needs need to be met.
Majority have been there and have scaled through; why should not you as well? One thing I do, is to engage my spirit to assess, by deep and thorough reflection to see if the benefit outweighs the cost (all areas). After this is done, then I can affirmatively say that my skeptical mind is simply a product of fear or pride or even inability to balance the two jobs.
Work – life balance is not easy; it’s not something that comes and goes, it’s something that you need to incorporate into your daily consciousness because it’s like a daily routine for some people; so long their needs for them to keep meeting their various need and wants. All legal means is a means and all ways is a way provided the ways involved are pure.
To simply say, work – life balance could be simply seen as a means of establishing equilibrium by which both jobs are done without one job enjoying at the detriment of the other and also the person involved not worked up. So, it’s simply a situation where both the person and the jobs are fine.
This post will fill you in on various things relating to jobs and hustling, amongst which include: having a job (official) and also hustling and having no job and also hustling right (legal).

Having a Job (Official) and Also Hustling
Kudos to a number of people who are out there hustling right and still have jobs. I must commend effort of these people as it takes great moral standards to practice this in a society of ours. We are all aware of the hiccups that are encountered in situations like this and also the dawning effects that are experienced respectively (different strokes with different folks). However, a number of steps have been outlined to achieve equilibrium between hustling right and jobs.
Working with respect to the chemistry in one’s body
Majority just want to work and amass all affluence without considering the effect of fatigue. I must say this, a hardworking person should study the way his system works. In as much as I believe in the principle of hardworking, the principle of enough rest cannot be over emphasized. So, it would do a lot of good deciphering how one’s body system work to plan and execute plans.
For example, you know that you are less effective once its 5’o clock and you need to attend to other customers aside your normal official work; you should simply round off all work at the office and dash out to attend to them before the diminishing sets in. find your flow.
Give full attention to the present dealings
This simply means be present wherever you find yourself. Don’t be physically in a place and not there wholeheartedly. Doing this makes one focused and also makes one finish tasks on time.
You cannot be at every position
One might disagree with my disposition but it’s the truth. Not all opportunities are used. If you simply want to jump on every opportunity you will simply be deviating from plan. So, there should be times when you reject some offers because they could alter ones disposition.
Have fun
This is the most important as it helps relax your muscles, calms one down and also prepares one for further tasks ahead. A hardworking person deserves a moment of enjoyment.

Having No Job and also Hustling Right (Legal)
The other side to the coin is this; we live in a country where the popular saying of the youths is that there are no jobs and as such the only way out of their mentality is to tilt towards illegal means. There is no job is not an avenue to go into various illegal and dubious means of extracting money out of people who go through sweat to get their bills paid.

SURULERE (patience pays). After graduating from university, I faced so many rejections from getting a job. I was so depressed not knowing that my unemployment is a blessing in disguise. I discovered my talents due to my unemployment. I can bend my body into various shapes; I can make arts and crafts with numerous medium. Am just grateful to God for his blessings. I may not be there yet but I strongly believe that with Perseverance, Patience and Prayer, I will.
The ball lies in our court. The right hustle must pay
Conclusively, having to jump from one job to another is tasking and also striving hard to meet ends needs is quite demanding but with perseverance, patience and prayer all hustle must pay and we will attain the peak. SURULERE
