Do you really feel like you're missing out on anything? I read in a forum that overemployment equates to sleep deprivation, poor diet, and lost time with family.

With proper organization skills, staying focused, and willingness to say no, I do not agree.

What say you?

I can see how that can be the case. And in my own circumstances, I'm afflicted with some of that. Fortunately I don't have a lot of family obligations at present, so I can take on a lot without feeling like I'm sacrificing time.

This is helpful, and I believe a good balance between "work" and life is healthy. One does not always have that option.

None of that is true for me. I have 4 jobs and only work 40 hours a week. I have the same time to spend with my family as if I only had one job.

Without giving too many details…

J1: PM in event technology (think event apps, web conferencing software)
J2: PM in the medical education industry (LMS)
J3: PM for a Fortune 100 SaaS company
J4: PM in law education (LMS)

Being a PM, I control (for the most part) the meetings. I have the daily standup meetings spaced out in the morning. Yes there are times I have meeting overlap but it’s not as hard as it sounds. I’ve been OE for around 4 years but have had 4js for over 2 years. I have switched out j3 and j4 a few times until I got the right mix to help me balance. Trying to build up funds to retire early.

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?

The first rule of overemployment is dont talk about overemployment to anyone outside your house. :). Second: always protect the main job.
