Working 9-5 So How Will I Find the Time?

Key things to consider for building whilst working full time.

TLDR: Focus on the most important thing to you and say no to everything else (for now).

I found that to succeed at something, it’s best to focus on it with intention and full attention.

I knew this to be true deep in my soul. And yet I struggled to let things go. I imagine I can’t be the only person who has had this problem.

After some deliberate thinking, I found that the problem, in reality, stems from some fear.

I was fearful of letting a cool project go because I was uncertain of the success of the project I chose. What if I chose wrong and the one I put aside was a winner?

FOMO.

I needed to build up the courage to put things aside. I had to understand that I wasn’t putting it aside forever. I wasn’t saying no to those projects; I was saying, “not now.”

I wasn’t saying goodbye.

Once I understood this, I had an easier time letting go. I got my focus on, and the clarity is invigorating.
