HOWTO: Be more productive (2005)
I'm getting older now and am finding this harder and harder to do as "real-life" things pile up. I was crushing it early in the pandemic, but it's really dried up in the past few months.<p>The big thing is having a job. Most of my life I've been freelance or happily under-employed, but working a FTJ seems just fundamentally incompatible with creative work for me. After 8 hours of staring at the screen, I just don't have anything left in the tank for side projects, writing, music, all of the creative things that make me feel like I'm using my time on earth wisely.<p>Would be interested in any advice from anybody who has overcome this.
