11/29 — Side Projects, Mindset, and Balance

Today I listened an interesting episode from the LifeHacker podcast The Upgrade. Titled “How to Pursue a Side Hustle”, the podcast hosts talk with Chris Guillebeau on side projects to pursue to bring in revenue on the side and/or for a fun learning…

How?

How am I supposed to act as though any of this matters? How do I go about my day today, tomorrow, and every day thereafter until my graduation, acting as though what I’m doing right now is making a difference?

11/28 — Getting Back Into It
