Ask HN: How to combine work, entrepreneurship and having a life

Hi HN, I'm an electronics engineer and I work in that field, and I also have a side project and a life, haha. I'd like to know how you manage to achieve balance. It seems really difficult and feels like I'm constantly juggling. I'm not as involved with my family, friends, girlfriend as I'd like... I feel like the project isn't progressing as I'd like after three years. Any advice?

I struggled with it too, but one solution that works for me is blocking time for specific things. For example I will block 4hrs in the early morning to work on my project 5 days a week. I keep friday evening and Saturdays free for family and Sunday for chores.

You have to accept that it is not possible to be as fast as someone working full time on the same project. But you can get creative about how to build things more efficiently.
