Listener Question: Simon asks, "How do I switch mindset from personal project to day job?"

Today's listener question is about working on side projects in the same space as your day job. Simon, who wrote into Developer Tea via email asks, "How do I transition from working on my side project in the morning, to working at my day job, in the same space?"

This episode, I review three red flag scenarios, and routines to help segment your day so you balance side project and day job effectively.
