Two faces, one true edge
A weekly pass along the joint
One short review shows whether day job and side work still meet, or whether a ridge of hours has grown.
Joints drift. A weekly pass along the edge catches the ridge early.
Four questions
- Did side work pass the hour limit?
- Did any job pay below the real hourly minimum?
- Did the day job need evenings you had reserved?
- Did the tax set-aside move with every payment?
Act on one change: a later date, a higher price, or a smaller slot. Small passes beat a rebuild.
