How to balance freelancing with a full-time job

Combining freelancing with a full-time job may be challenging but not impossible.

Here are a few tips on how to balance permanent and freelancing jobs:

• Carve out time to start freelancing. Evenings, weekends can be a good time for your side-hustle. However, don’t sacrifice your leisure time. Otherwise, you may burn out quickly. 

• Don’t work on too many freelance projects in the beginning. Give yourself some time to get used to the increased workload.

• Don’t tackle your freelance tasks during your regular job’s work hours. Keep your freelance and your full-time job completely separate. Try not to compromise your employment if you want to keep this job. 

• To avoid misunderstandings, tell your boss honestly that you do some freelance projects.
