Episode 2999

Balancing a side hustle with a full-time job is no easy feat, especially when your to-do list keeps growing faster than you can cross things off. Today’s question comes from a nurse and side hustler who’s feeling stuck in a cycle of procrastination and overwhelm.

Let’s explore how to prioritize what matters most, break tasks into manageable steps, and make steady progress without burning out.

"Hey Chris, this is Clara! I’m a full-time nurse with a side hustle selling handmade candles online. My biggest struggle is managing my time—I always have too many items on my to-do list, and certain tasks keep getting pushed to the next day… and the next. I feel like I’m stuck in a loop of procrastination, but I don’t know how to break it. How can I prioritize what really matters and stop carrying over the same tasks day after day?"
