How to Balance a Full-Time Job and a Side Business

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I start setting time blocks?

Start by analyzing your daily routine. Determine your busiest times and free slots, then allocate specific blocks for work and side business tasks. Stick to these blocks diligently to build a habit.

2. What are some recommended productivity apps?

Trello for project management, Google Calendar for scheduling, and a good note-taking app like Evernote can help you stay organized. Experiment with different tools to find what works best for you.

If you’re off track, first forgive yourself—life happens. Reevaluate your goals and adjust them as needed. Make sure they’re still SMART and realign your actions accordingly.
