Someone in my room used this line last night and it could not be more true.
The naughty earning I do, it's a side hustle for me. I have a very full time job...that has slowed down considerably during the COVID. I came back from Florida and my goal was to come out of this ahead. I did take a significant pay cut because of there not being any large events going on, and I flipped into survival mode of trying to make that money back on the side hustles. Nothing productive came of that, even if monetarily it did, because I sacrificed my time for money, and that is really something I do enough of in my day job. I don't want to do that when I am not there.
You know what I have learned...I'll be just fine. We'll all be just fine. It is all about perspective. Which as most of you know is tattoo'd on me. I learned a long time ago, you have to keep things in perspective.
Covid is a nightmare that I think we all wish we weren't enduring, but we are enduring it. For me, every damn day I want to scream a little more about it, because it is wrecking people, small businesses, parents of school age children. People I know, people I don't know.
I got hustled by the hustle. Although I am sure it was unpopular to some, posting a schedule and sticking to it, has been the BEST thing I have done in a while. I am forcing myself out of hustle mode, at least for a while. I want to live my life, not spend it in a circle of earning. That isn't living.
So, visit me when I am scheduled to be online, and tip the fuck out of me when I am there, because I still have earning goals. I am just not focusing on earning every single nickel right now. Life is short. We have no idea how short it is until it is too late. If I am online when I am not scheduled to be there, it is because I just want to be there, let's have fun with it!
Happy Friday - I am off to my day job!!
