#1 how it's going
Balancing two careers can be a challenge, but it's possible with proper planning and organization. As a biologist during the day and a graphic designer at night, I have found a few strategies that have worked for me.
First, I prioritize my time effectively. I make sure to allocate sufficient time for each career, ensuring that neither one takes away from the other. I also use tools such as a calendar or a task management app to keep track of my schedule and deadlines.
Second, I make use of my downtime. During breaks or commutes, I can use my phone or laptop to complete small design tasks or answer emails. This allows me to stay on top of my design work and stay organized.

Third, I communicate effectively with clients and colleagues. I make sure to keep them informed of my availability and any potential delays, and I ensure that I am always responsive and professional.
