alt Hacker NewsGood stuff, but I cannot wrap my head around how they could write so much while still making a living aka doing things that actually pay them

People ask me where I find the time to make so many things, and I like to say "we all have the same 24 hours in a day, I just like to spend many of them making things".
I guess what they're really have in their mind when they ask is "where do you find the extra hours to go so far down my priority list", but what they don't realize is that my priority list is simply different.
Someone once asked me how I found the time to read so many books. I just prefer reading to most other activities. I'd rather have my nose in a book than [your favourite activity].
It is the same with blogging. I'd rather spend time writing than I would watching YouTube, mowing the lawn, or whatever.
Although, since starting an adult gap year 12 months ago, I've actually been blogging less as I find more interesting things to do than work :-)
I sold a startup a few years ago which gave me the financial runway to "work for myself" aka not make much money at all for a few years.
