Reframe a Side Hustle That Is Cannibalising Your Freelance Day Rate

Feeling busy is not the same as earning well, and a side hustle that pays less per hour than your main work is quietly costing you money. This does the actual maths on both, names what is really happening, and gives you two straight options instead of vague guilt about your time.

<task>
**Reframe** the situation using the numbers rather than the feeling of being busy:
1. Work out the true hourly return of the side hustle once all time, including admin and marketing, is counted
2. Compare that figure honestly against the main freelance day rate
3. Reframe "I'm diversifying my income" into what is actually happening if the side hustle pays less per hour
4. Offer two realistic options: raise the side hustle's price to match its worth, or scale it back in favour of the higher value work
