How do they do it?
Sit down with each of your employers and get crystal clear on their expectations.
By what metrics will they measure your performance?
What numbers do they expect from you for those key performance indicators?
This way, it’s possible for you to (ethically) overlap your working hours.
You could literally get paid for 16 hours of work each day while actually working just eight.
Imagine you instead worked one mentally intensive job with another job that requires physical movement and skill.
For example, you could work an accounting job during the day and then moonlight as anantique furniture restorer.
One job engages your mind, the other engages your hands and body.
That keeps your two working worlds balanced and aligned.
Prioritize Flexibility
Good luck appeasing two different jobs that require you to work specific hours each week.
If both jobs tell you to work at 11:00 on Thursday morning, youre in trouble.
Have an Exit Strategy
You probably dont want to work two jobs forever.
First, define a goal that would let you escape the tornado of working two jobs.
That could mean having a certain level of savings or eliminating debt.
Then create a budget to serve as a roadmap for reaching your goal.
Otherwise, you may find yourself still working two jobs five years from now or 25.
