But 40 hour work week eats all my time! I barely have time to cook food, spend time with partner, walk the pet - the basic stuff, which I can't lose.
Should I just make the leap of faith, and if yes then how to come back to work after a fail, when my saved money ends? Is it necessary to quit the job? Should I pursue my partner to earn more (non-IT), that I could quit my job?
I am very lost, any tips.
I dont waste much time with cooking or anything really, i do find some time and energy after work to work on my project. Typically the hardest part is to simply start (like each day). My trick to that is to just work for 5 minutes, do the absolute minimum, that is enough for a day but i also often end up working a lot more.
I played Dwarf Fortress before it was Dwarf Fortress; it was some weirdish game that you could run around and stab things, or use magic to teleport organs out of monsters. Minecraft when I first played was just something where you dig out a block and put it elsewhere. No combat, no crafting, just moving blocks around like old school legos.
If you want to quit, perhaps get your idea past the prototype stage.
i would say don’t push yourself too hard if you don’t have time. I have gf and a dog as well and I’m gonna spend more time with them instead of focusing on my side projects.
