Currently, I work for myself. It's a blessing and curse.<p>On the one hand I have more money and time than I ever could have as an engineer, but I find it hard to justify using my time on anything else.<p>How does one justify learning a new language, building toy side projects, messing with new technologies, etc?<p>I find it difficult to justify side projects when I could be expanding on my main project/money maker.<p>Ideas? Thoughts?
If you’d enjoy learning a new technology or experimenting with a side project just do it. You don’t need to justify doing something you enjoy, it’ll help prevent you from burning out.
