Hustle Smarter, Not Harder

Ever felt the tug of burnout and the quest for control over your career? Bryan Roque's story takes an unexpected turn, as he explores the concept of 'overemployment'—holding down two jobs simultaneously. How is this possible?

• Strategically take a week or two of vacation from your other jobs to ease the onboarding process for the new one

• Stagger your jobs by time zone for maximum efficiency—think New York hours for one and California time for another

• Keep your childfree lifestyle intact with separate work calendars and avoid scheduling clashes by promptly blocking your time when meetings arise

• Invest in a mouse jiggler to keep up the appearance of being online while you tackle other tasks

• Use a KVM switch to seamlessly control multiple laptops from a single keyboard
