Hustling for the Family HOW TO BALANCE A SIDE HUSTLE AND FAMILY LIFE

Take breaks. There is no person on earth who can work 18-plus-hour days every day of the week. Everybody needs a little R & R. Regular breaks will allow you to spend quality time with your spouse and children, reduce the risk of burning out, and enable you to enjoy your life outside of the daily grind. Honestly, though, breaks aren’t enough. If you’re really making time for everything, you’re going to be working some long days, and you’ll need the energy to match. Make sure you are eating healthy and making time for regular exercise. This way you won’t pass out the next time you try to watch “Trolls” with the kiddos. Make time. It’s likely time already feels like a scarce resource, and with an added side hustle, you’ll find it’s a true luxury. Make a list of your usual daily activities and cut down on those that don’t mesh with your goals. TV, social media, and extra day-job responsibilities probably need to fall by the wayside if you’re going to fit everything you want to accomplish into each day. Check out the book “Stop Wasting Your Life And Start Doing What Matters Most” by Jeffrey L. Krug for some tips on doing just that.

A side hustle — whether it’s taking on side work in your construction job, doing extra volunteer work for church or the community, or just trying to keep up with a hyperactive family’s various activities — can be a substantial boon to your family’s finances. But it can also cause tension and change family dynamics. Luckily, it is possible to balance a side hustle, keep your sanity, and maintain healthy relationships with your spouse and kids. Here are some tips on how to make a little extra cash without overly disrupting your family life. Organize your life . Regardless of how meticulously you’ve organized your life, after a few weeks of extra work, your world is sure to seem a little more complex. One excellent way to synchronize with your family — and ensure you don’t miss anything important — is to have every family member streamline their busy schedules into one of many family calendar-sharing applications, whether it’s Google Calendar, Hub Family Organizer, or Cozi. This way, you’ll be able to quickly and visually determine the best times to take breaks, and easily make sure your work schedule doesn’t overlap with picking up your kids from school or making it to their ballgames..

Client Testimonials SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT US

“I was faced with a DUI, less than 0.10 percent blood-alcohol content, first-offense charge and could not be more pleased that I made the decision to choose Rob Usry of Holland and Usry to represent me. Most importantly, my charge was ultimately dismissed, but Rob was extremely professional and knowledgeable, and he answered any and ALL of my questions or concerns throughout. Rob kept me in the loop the entire time and handled everything for me, including getting me my driver’s license back far quicker than I expected early in the process. He kept me as much at ease as possible through the whole process. I would highly recommend anyone facing a similar charge to call Rob and ask for his help.”

“You certainly saved me from a company with no compassion for its employees. I am very thankful for your guidance and for the results of our long-drawn-out case, which was not any fault of yours. It’s good to know that if ever I should need legal guidance again, I certainly know who to go see — you! Thank you for all you’ve done to help me.”
