3. Setting Boundaries
Boundaries help prevent one from overtaking the other.
A. Separate Work and Hobby Spaces
- If you work from home, have a designated workspace and a different place for hobbies.
- Keeps mental association clear between business mode and relaxation mode.
B. Say “No” When Necessary
- Avoid hobby-related commitments that drain energy or time from business.
- If a monetized hobby is overwhelming, consider reducing projects or outsourcing.
Pros:
- Prevents overcommitment
- Helps maintain balance
Cons:
- Can be difficult if a hobby-turned-business is growing rapidly
