Decide Whether to Pursue a Side Project Alongside Your Job
The side project idea won't leave you alone, but you already have a full job. Describe the project and your current work situation and this weighs it honestly: the energy cost of a divided focus, what you'd gain, and whether the timing actually works. Aimed at anyone tempted to start something on the side without burning out.

</context>
<task>
Help the user decide whether to start or continue pursuing {PROJECT_DESCRIPTION} alongside their current role described as {JOB_SITUATION}. Assess: the energy cost of a divided focus, whether the project requires sustained creative attention that the day job is already consuming, whether there is a viable time window each week that could be protected, and what success looks like in six months.
