Gosh, this proverb is sooo true. Five years ago (in July) I joined UW, as working part time I wanted to boost my income, and long-term, create more time freedom for my writing.
However, having increased my hours in January, as I needed to boost my 'reliable' income (as I was losing benefits/maintenance with boys getting older and the royalties from my writing decreased) I have learnt how much I valued working part-time, having done it for nearly twenty years.
Now I have increased my hours at work, I really, really, really value time freedom.
Don't get me wrong, technically I've always worked full-time, with the writing, raising two boys, then UW, as well a part-time job. But it was always on my terms. I don't like that I'm trading more of my hours for money - I want my free time back.
With these increased hours, there are time constraints/restrictions to this, and I'm exhausted at the end of the day, therefore, I'm soooo grateful that I started my side hustle five years ago, because I can see, eventually, I'll be decreasing those hours again.
Five years ago, I wasn't thirsty... but I certainly am now!
If you'd like to reduce your hours with the day job (or work work as I like to call it), and make time for more things that you enjoy, I'm happy to show you what I do. It fits in and around all my other commitments, and busy people can make this opportunity work.
If this sounds like something that would interest you, too. Then let's have a chat. The link below can take you to my UW website and give you a little more information as well as ways to get in touch with me.
