There is only things you do to earn money. Do more than one thing? You have 2 jobs. Simple.

In the end, the only way you can earn money is:

• Through the exchange of time
• Specific knowledge / skills
• Percentages
• Luck

Work in a call centre but deliver Uber eats on your days off? 2 jobs. Work in an office but sell crafts at markets or online? 2 jobs. Work part time in a coffee shop, a bar in the evenings and occasional gigs in a band? 3 jobs.

Maybe you need multiple jobs to keep the bills paid, maybe you need multiple jobs to let you do the things you love. This is all ok, as long as you have a plan.

Balance the books, create, be satisfied, know when to close the screen, put down the pen and walk away for a bit.

You have 24 hours in a day, you need 8-10 of those for sleeping, eating, hygiene. How you spend the rest is up to you. Slumped on the sofa in 3 day old pajamas? Unless you’re ill or parenting a newborn, you’re wasting your life. Have some respect and do the damn laundry, get off your butt and spend some energy on you.

Work out, learn something, get outside, cook, start earning extra F-You money, pay off those damn debts.

Just don’t waste it and don’t call it a side hustle.
