A Day in the Life of a Full-Time Remote Worker Who Writes Online
And manages a side hustle
I grew up mesmerized by people who were busy and happy.
I couldn’t figure out what would make them love tackling tasks for most of the day. How do they do that and come away with a smile?
Wouldn’t they want to work for themselves and not for anyone else?
My awakening thought was simple: mindset is everything.
When you have a goal, you appreciate the journey. You soak it all in. This is true even if that means you’re not your own boss 24/7.
Every screw-up is a lesson. Every bottleneck is a chance to optimize the process.
You learn this by being in the jungle, not by watching it on TV.
So here’s what a typical day in my life looks like as a full-time designer and part-time hustler.
Monday-Friday
5AM: Wake up
This has to be one of the hardest things to do. Waking up this early isn’t normal. That’s why I like it.
I’d be lying through my teeth if I said I didn’t struggle with sleeping in a little longer. But it seems like my days are longer and more productive when I wake up early to get things done.
