Talking to @m_ashcroft today, I realized that side-projects bring meaning to the lives of knowledge workers that our day jobs don’t. But these projects also slowly drain us.
With all my projects going on, I practically have two jobs. I love what I do, but it’s intense.

Sustaining side-projects becomes challenging over time.
Something needs to give; we can’t spread our attention too thin.
It’s either your job or side projects. Do you dare to choose?

Over the past months, I’ve increasingly heard of people leaving their day jobs to make a living online.
I’m one of them, mostly because I find I’m missing meaning in my day job and it’s making me miserable. Slowly, the life is sucked out of me.

I believe that the lockdowns have caused a dramatic shift in perspective in many.
What previously looked impossible (making a living online) suddenly is reality.
We start to see what our lives could potentially look like without a boss present, but many are afraid to be free.

Most knowledge workers can now independently work on the internet. You don’t need to become an entrepreneur; you could start with freelance work.
What work would you choose if it could be anything? Do you know what kind of work would fulfill you?

We don’t know what the future will bring, but the way we work will be radically different.
Sitting at home, you could do work you enjoy, and that gives your life meaning, or you can wither away in a job you hate.
The choice is yours, dare to take the leap
