When I was at Mutual of Omaha, I was very up front with them about my passion for maintaining webpack, working on open source, and speaking at conferences.

Because of that honesty I think that they were more flexible and generous with the amount of time I could spend on OSS and speaking.

How do I manage my time? Honestly I don't whatsoever. There are some days I feel I'm constantly under water. (Which may sound scary, but in fact, it's an open source authors greatest asset for new contributors as long as you work hard no matter what you do). If people see me drowning, they always reach out their hand. Many of our most active contributors we're drawn to us this way.
