Making the most of working a full-time job when you have other pursuits

Dissatisfaction with full-time work often stems from a lack of freedom, despite the stability it provides. Using downtime at work—like lunch breaks or short moments between tasks—can be a way to pursue personal interests and goals. Activities such as paying bills, planning holidays, or working on creative projects can help maximize efficiency and free up time outside of work. The key is recognizing these small opportunities and using them effectively to advance personal pursuits, while tolerating the constraints of a 9-5 job.

lol...anyone else finding it hard to focus on your side projects because of how soulsucking your job is?

After a whole day of just... spreadsheets and nonsense, my creative energy is gone. I want to work on my art, but all I want to do is crash as well.
