I'm working around 40 hours a week as a developer. Work out 3 times a week and sleep 7-8 hours a night.

Recently I've been inspired by a friend and certain "hustle" speakers to work more on myself and my skills. I have many ideas I want to implement and things to study to get better in my free time.
Currently pulling 1-2 hours a day after work or working out of coding/studying and so far its been satisfying but how do I NOT GET FUCKING TIRED?
I'm 22 and in the best shape and health of my life, why is it that by 7-8 pm I am already so tired its painful to sit and watch my screen to code?

How do you "hustlers" handle this aspect?

Dev here. You're doing it wrong.

Coding day and night IS exhausting. You need to find a hustle outside of just monitors and keyboards.

I'm into real estate and working on starting to flip houses in my area.

It's also a good diversification. You need to build other skills.

Hmm fair point, even though my friend does mostly just this. What could I get into without money tho?

Jesus fuck user...

>flipping houses.

Just. No. Please...

What's wrong with that? The numbers look ok to me (not great, but not bad). I've been doing buy-and-hold REI for a long while now and thought I'd give something more active a try.

But, if you have other suggestions, I'm all ears.

Well, obviously, you'll need some money to start something. But as a dev, you should have some spare cash. My point is to not do what you always do and force yourself out of that comfort zone. Honestly, take it from me, dev work will turn into a dead end very quickly and you'll regret not setting up an actual business on the side.

I actually am working at my own startup and interning at another company in the meanwhile, trying not to have all my eggs in one basket. I'm about to graduate my BSc and going straight to Masters while juggling all these jobs + side projects. Have no idea what to look for.

I have the same problem. I would say the problem is the screen but I just use Veeky Forums instead. I guess coding requires a lot more active usage which is exhausting.

Unfortunately this is my only real skill.

Flipped houses in the Albany NY area. Trust me it is something you want to stay far far away from. The profit you make after taxes is so little it isn't worth the time and effort. Especially when you lose money and all your motivation and determination goes down the drain.

Thanks for the input

Yea, I've been talking with some local flippers here and I get the impression that I'd have to really take on more time and risk just to get parity on what I make from my cuck dev job now.

Still, thought I'd give it a try, but my biggest issue currently is even just finding contractors that are reliable. Most see "investor" and think "Oh great, he wants the flip done quickly but oh make sure it's cheap and oh make sure it's quality too!". I can just hear their eyes rolling over the phone. And I get it.

So, I'm now investigating more alternatives to side hustles. Need to get my income up.
