A Day in the Life of a Part-time Writer (and a Full-time Data Scientist)

When I say I write, I take a pen, paper and write. And I love it! (Photo by Judit Peter from Pexels)

I’m a private person. I’m a writer. People like me do exist.

Despite being a writer, I’ve kept my personal life aside. I write about data science, work-life, side-hustles, and my personal development journey. Basically, the intersection of something that I have personal experiences with and what I believe will add value to you, the reader.

One of the most asked questions to me is: “how did you manage to do all of this while working full-time?”

The more I think about it, the more I realize there’s no secret to it. It’s just that I absolutely love what I do. Over time, I have picked up a few things that worked for me and stuck with me as my routine. It’s wonderful to enjoy the stability of your full-time job as you experiment with life.

Here’s a sneak-peak into my typical day in my life now.
