How do you manage 9-5 and side hustle?

I used to work late at night on my projects.

Sacrifice. The sad truth is that man founders, entrepreneurs, and hustlers lead a lonely life working toward something they believe in. I promote and push for balance, but have spent many nights not hanging out with friends, family, or doing hobbies to work on something else instead. I am not suggesting or encouraging this, but suggesting how it can be managed. Otherwise it's learning personal project management.
