balance job and webmaster work
 

For those of you who hold jobs while simultaneusly working as a webmaster, how do you manage your time and maintain a balanced approach?

alcohol.

I don't sleep... and I watch lots of Disney Channel

Hire a staff...

quit your day job,,,

very carefully

I've got this Mexican family that lives under my house. They stay there in exchange for making massive galleries.

I got a monkey that stay up all night and do submissions, while I sleep ! Pay him 5 kg of bananas a mouth and he say it's the best job he ever have had.

Laptop. Use it in secrecy when your boss doesn't see.

Work?

Oh ya and :rasta :smokin :stoned helps too.

I didn't do it very well which is why I quit two years ago and went full time at this. No regrets.

I can't right now - it pays me over 90k/annually and this is not an equivilant replacement source of income - yet.

you need to schedule your day and follow it. scheduling is simple. keeping to the schedule is hard.

8 hours work
4 hours relaxing, spending with family
4 hours webmastering
8 hours sleeping

thats only my example, sometimes i can surf at work on breaks and chit.

If you're truely an addict then you'll end up spending 8 hours of work, 1 hour with the fam/friends, and the rest in front of your computer. You probably won't make as much money as you hoped for in the beginnging and your wife/girlfriend will think you're insane and you're "playing on your computer" instead of watching TV with her. Then when you finally become successful she won't consider it a job and you guys will probably end up breaking up.

And surf at work like hyper to read message boards because it's easy to get stuck on them and not work.

Or you can just do what Lude does. Seems to work for him :thumbsup

This is my current state.

I work 7 out of 14 day's 12 hour shifts (6am-6pm) the day's I work 6-6, I come home and work 7-11 on webmaster stuff. The day's I am off I work all day on webmaster stuff. I really want to quit my day job but I use that money to invest in webmaster stuff.

I have a $71,000 per year job, and I only have to work 4 days a week, so I'm staying there for as long as they'll have me.

The porn thing is just a little part-time extra stuff now, and I'm using it as part of my photography hobby. If I start making good money, I'll have to re-evaluate I guess. But for now, I'm still in a job and investing the stock market.

eys, neglecting the family is key, ::bap::, you didnt know?

explain to family and friends that you are investing neglection of them time into business, and u will have more time to spend with them once the investment pays off
