You either don’t or you have to sacrifice sleep, leisure time or something else.

I have a full-time job, two-kids and a small SaaS side-business and it is all consuming.

I either get up early or stay up late to work on my own stuff.

The goal is to transition into working for myself but that is going slowly and I’ve been at it for a while so I’m feeling a bit burned out lately...

Thoughts of just selling the damn thing and just working my 9-5 are becoming more frequent...

I don’t mean to stick my nose in, but seeing as we are on HN: I keep hearing the market is pretty good for capital lately, have you explored raising a round to accelerate dropping the 9-5?

My current side project is too small to consider seed capital. It's too niche.

It has replaced about a third of my income so the goal is to start another project soon.
