Side Effects of Side Hustling — Keeping Your Senses Wide Open

Navigating the Highs and Lows of Chasing the Dream

The Gig economy, which was already bustling before 2020, blew up to a complete different level with the pandemic. The Year 2021 is clearly the ‘year of side hustles’. ‘Great resignation’ has paved the path for the age of gig economy.

People dream of becoming their own boss. They feel money should not be a restriction. They keep repeating to themselves the statement that they might have born poor but will not die poor. Side hustles have become perfect accompaniment for such people.

You might be very excited and taking pride to handle multiple projects at a time in your life. But, if you are handling too many different responsibilities occupying your time at once, it’s hard to give it your all.

While some might boast, “My plate is always overflowing!”, hold up — is that really something to celebrate?

Yogic sciences in India revealed the profound truth: eating less nourishes the body like nectar, while eating more acts as poison. Even research proves that secret to a long and healthy life is to eat less.

This article acts as a friendly warning to keep checking yourself if your plate is full. If it is, then there are going to be several side effects of the same, which will be discussed in this article.

Struggling in Juggling Side Hustles with Other Aspects of Life

Physical and Mental Burnout

Most of the side hustles demand two devotions from you:

1. Mind’s work

2. Clinging to one’s seat

It’s not easy to execute a successful side hustle. It requires a lot of time and devotion despite luck favouring you.

Impact on Career

Usually evenings or weekends are meant to be for your side hustles. But you get so much attracted towards it that you get diverted to this during your work hours.

Results may vary from ‘isolation from colleagues’ to ‘decline in efficiency’. For most of us, Office is the second home. We spend so much time with our colleagues that even a slightest distraction can easily be noticed.

It’s essential to remember that not engaging in a side hustle isn’t the end of the world. However, losing a job or damaging your career can have significant consequences that ripple through your life.

Bird in hand may not be worth two in the bush.

Beware! For some not doing side hustles is not the end of the world. But if they lose their job or dent their career, it may cause ripples in your life.

How the hell to manage side hustle without the side effects?

Keep your senses wide open. What exactly do you mean by this ? Let’s discuss below.

Find Time to Unplug From Both Job as well as Side Hustles

Go for a walk, spend time with your kids or play a sport. Take your dog out and experience the gentle breeze of nature and selfless love of your dog.

Restrict your side hustles only to certain days of the week or allocate a schedule for it. This may help you go a long way.

Take It Slow

Don’t rush to create a second income.

Pace yourself and take breaks between tasks.

Avoid publishing content every day, as quantity doesn’t always translate to quality.

Overcome FOMO

How many people who are side hustling are actually successful ? Remember that success in side hustling isn’t guaranteed for everyone.

Prioritize the other aspects of your life that matter, even if it means not pursuing a side hustle.

Your health, both physical and mental, and your relationships should take precedence.

It is completely okay to be without earning from a side hustle immediately. Give it its time.

While side hustles offer exciting opportunities, it’s crucial to be aware of their potential side effects. Keep your senses wide open, and evaluate whether the benefits outweigh the costs. Take breaks, maintain a healthy work-life balance, and remember that success in side hustling shouldn’t come at the expense of your well-being or relationships.
