I am currently overworking, 12-14 hours a day, with 6 days a week but its purposeful as I am trying to break into a new domain
Sleep is a weapon - try to get between 7/8 hours regularly and about 10 every 10 days (made the last one up - but essentially get enough rest)
Family obligations yes kids, but I have worked out an arrangement
Motivation with overload: see #3 below, however I do my best to remain communicative with all those who depend on me so that I can stretch the time, and I invest in building capacity of those around me to take on the load
The best side projects are:
Using technology that is similar to your day job (very little context switching) and pays off very well later by improving the performance at your day job
Solve a particular need or itch (focused scope)
Something you are interested in hence no need for motivation
Release fast release often and throw away anything that does not work
For focusing I use the 2 paradigms:
Eat the Frog (Brian Tracy) - do the most mundane and usually most impactful/important tasks first
The One Thing (Gary W. Keller, Jay Papasan) - the most important thing you must be doing now so helps prioritize
It is okay not to be as productive as you set high targets to be, but just start and move along slowly and u will get better
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
