Side income under tension
Tension each job evenly
Adding a fifth side job only helps if the first four still share the hours fairly.
A new offer feels like progress until one evening carries everything. Even tension means each job fits a known slot.
A simple check
- List every active side job and the hours it took last week.
- Mark any job that used more than a third of your side-work hours.
- Before saying yes to something new, free or reprice that heavy spoke.
A wheel with one overloaded spoke does not need another spoke. It needs truing.
