Curious about what works for you?
... And also, what was something you stopped doing because it didn't work?

by prioritizing the most important parts

For me, scheduling everything (even my downtime) made a huge difference. I used to try multitasking all day, but it left me more stressed.
Now, I block time for work and then I’m done for the day. Helps prevent burnout for sure.
I would say
1. Setting Clear Boundaries - Leave work at a reasonable hour
2. Prioritising Self-Care - Block out time for hobbies, family, and friends
3. Learning to Say No - Politely decline when necessary
4. Asking for Help - Delegate tasks if you can.

I balance work and personal life by setting clear boundaries, like defined work hours and non-negotiable downtime. I prioritize tasks, delegate when possible, and make time for activities that recharge me, like exercise or spending time with loved ones. It’s all about staying organized and being intentional with my time.

As an indie developer, time is like bullets from a shooter – sometimes you wake up and half the day is gone, awkward haha! But here’s the trick: I divide my day into three parts – research, development, and marketing. This way, I gradually find my rhythm. Keep shooting those bullets, but remember to reload with some personal time too!

Here's how I keep things from going haywire: I mix up my work hours. Sometimes, I start early to finish early. It's all about finding what works and at work, I tackle the big fish first. The small fry can wait🙂
What works for me is to first Set clear boundaries with my work hours as I try to use my weekend to recharge. Then for my first 4 hours of work, I focus on the high-impact task and lastly prioritize sleep, exercise, and healthy eating
