Oh, and I have to say ChatGPT is incredible. As most have already seen or heard. It has saved me a lot of time lately. Including answering questions more succinctly than me spending time looking through search results. Sorry Bing and Google...

I will use the store to break up the monotony of code-code-code of the first and third priority work. The first and third will benefit from each other with new testing, structures, and some of the infrastructure changes I am developing.

11/06/2022 11:59:03 AM

All that to say... Top priority side-hustle will remain the one that pays. Second will be a new store that I will announce soon. Third, and final, will be the social experiment one, but at a slower pace...

Then I have my interest in another store. A place where I curate the items that go into the shop and can even justify getting some things myself for demoing and testing....

11/06/2022 11:56:45 AM

Then there is the VR focused one that will also take quite a bit of time and I think once the framework is set up could be low level of effort. Getting that framework in place is something I am interested in but this one is lower priority....

Another is a store that I started with a friend. Conceptually a great idea and we put a good amount of time and effort into it in a short period of time. Since then, not much... It was more of a passion for him than for me so without his engagement, I hav

Each of the side hustles let me learn and grow but only one is really paying at this point. The one that pays does have some work that needs to be done but sometimes I need a break from that one to save some sense of sanity.
