đź’ˇI have a lot of ideas in my mind:
- Writing my own HTTP server
- Coding some MCP servers to practice
- Participate in hackathons
- Develop my own social network
The list is endless and then there are the responsibilities in the real world. Working my 9-5, doing a work out and taking care of family/friends. I want to go deep for each topic but unfortunately the day has only 24 hours. Honestly i feel burned out.
âť“The question: How can I manage all this stuff?âť“
Recently I reduced my 40 hours week to a 32-hour-week
This gives me the time to restore my energy level and buys me more resources for other topics that are currently more important to me.
Learn to prioritise
Often it feels like everything should get the highest priority. I never really learned this important skill. I've heard about the Eisenhower Matrix but I actually have not yet got the concept behind it. Lets see where I will stand in a few months.
Concentrate on the current most important challenge
I'm not able to shut down my thoughts about the other tasks when im working on the current one. Even when I put them down on paper or into a notebook i can't stop thinking about them.
Ideas
- Making some kind of challenge weeks where I go for one project after another and after a week the result I created is just fine. Well the way is more important, right?
- Just fire up a note program and put everything in it what comes into my mind. It doesn't matter in what order the things come out. It's only important to get them out and maybe there are some cool results
- Going for a walk leaving digital devices behind.
- Maybe it's time for a mindset shift. It should not matter that the project is not completed the way it was designed but what new skills/knowledge i achieved
Do you have similar experience? What are you're strategies to solve those problems?
