I am getting tired
I was planning to build the product by January 1. However, I am getting tired after work that makes me sleep.
Guys, how you handle this kind of situation? To much stress at work. Less energy than ever.
Thanks in advance for advice,
Best
You have to recognize that there are different seasons in life. Sometimes you can crush it and stay up late, other times you need to take care of yourself and lay low for a while. You can't always be 110% so it's OK to slow down once in a while so you don't wear yourself down, it's vital for your health!
Ive felt the same, the full time job just took all my energy and I wasn’t really interested in building something when I got home. Wasn’t tired, was just tired of web dev. What worked was switching from a 40 hour to a 32 hour work week, I’d code new ideas in those 8 hours I bought myself. From there I expanded my income till I could quit my job.
That's a great idea!
Set mini-goals my friend and bask in those successes. Instead of saying I need BIG done by far future date, set small blocks that build to the end goal. Setting a launch date is just allowing your subconscious to build stress which is taking its toll on you. Think of it this way, if you get sick from overworking, you'll for sure not hit your release goal, or even worse cause something major like falling asleep while driving and we will NEVER get to see your amazing project.
Thanks for the awesome advises. Let me try each of them. First of all, I need to reduce my wasted time on unnecessary web surfing. Another thing is I probably should spend my morning on the things that matter.
Best,
If at all possible then try to find a sport you like. Yes I know.. it sounds like you would even have less time available. However you have to unload the stress and get the blood flowing in order to gain some energy.
I am in the same situation, and when I am coding i fall asleep sitting, like a baby in food time...
I have to say that I tried to wash my face, around my head with cold water and it wakes me up a lot.
With this system? I have been capable to be awake 2h more...and without drinking coffee, energy drinks or so..
You don't loose nothing for trying it out... go ahead.
Have a good day
If you don't already, you could try sleeping early and wake up very early in the morning before your job to work on your projects undisturbed.
You gotta find things to motivate you, inspire you and keep you on track. I find that I thrive when I have someone I can talk to going through the same struggle. Going at it alone is tough.
