Ago! My small bets friend! I always read your newsletter. Your life design board was really inspiring. I really should be updating the community with my progress as well.

Question, how do you draw the line between small bets and time with family?

Heeeeey my buddy Manny, I am so happy to know you liked the life plan! We are dads, and yours is THE $1M question😅 I usually wake up at 4:30AM and I work 1h everyday, at average, during the week, before going to my work place.

On weekends I work too in the early morningon my Side hustles and have an additional 2hours after we have lunch (if we are out of home, we just relax ;) .

My rule is to work on my Side hustles just when my son sleeps: so it's early morning or when he has his nap after lunch time on weekends.

Evening is just for my family.

With these hard constraints I can draw a bold line when I am on and when I am off. When my body says:"hey Mister, you need to rest, I listen it".

I'll talk about that on next Issue, tnx for the insight!

How your project are going?!

Big hug from Italy and have a nice week start!

Great to hear your strategy. I am trying to do something similar. Early mornings are tough for me though, our 9 month old still wakes up a few times a night so I feel like crap at 4:30 am :)

As far as my small bets, they are still rather small in compensation. my translation app has 4 paid customers only but it makes me happy. Someone in Hawaii uses it for their business emails. I am working on a free guide about time management and digital distractions! so far 3 people are waiting for me to finish it. I hope to release by the end of july: https://dadmakestech.gumroad.com/l/mindfulscrolling

Man, I'm excited about what you're doing, and my best whishes for your 9 months old baby 😍

With some paying customers You're already on something! I saw even your IoT Udemy course got 1000+ students.

That's amazing!

I can see we're aligned about our lifestyle, We should have a chat my friend.

I have a lot of things to talk about and ask! :)

Cheers
