A Day Divided: My Workweek

As a full-time IT consultant, I clock in 8 hours each workday, which you can imagine has been a stable and rewarding aspect of my life. But what about the other parts of my week? Let's dive into the details:

Professional Responsibilities (8 hours a day)

My primary role as an IT consultant is a rewarding and demanding one. I work a full 8-hour day, typically weekdays from 9 AM to 5 PM. This job allows me to leverage my technical skills and knowledge to help businesses and individuals achieve their goals. It's not just about the paycheck; it's also about the impact I can make in the digital world.

Networking and Learning (2 hours a day)

Over the past few weeks, I've been making the most of my time by sharing my knowledge on platforms like Quora and similar websites. This part of my week involves about 2 hours each day. I find it incredibly fulfilling to contribute to the tech community, answer questions, and help others with their IT-related queries. It's a form of continuous learning for me, as well as contributing to the broader tech ecosystem.

Domain Buying and Selling (1 hour a day)

Another significant part of my week involves my passion for domain buying and selling. I spend about an hour daily on this hobby. It's not just about making a side income; it's a form of creative expression and a way to explore the fascinating world of internet entrepreneurship. Finding unique domain names, conducting market research, and ultimately making a sale can be both challenging and rewarding. This activity has been a source of satisfaction for me.

Weekend Activities

On weekends, I take up my hobbies and pursue other interests. Whether it's reading tech blogs, attending conferences, or just taking breaks to recharge, I try to balance my professional and personal life.
