I personally am of the same opinion that I, and honestly most people, can't focus on two serious "time sinks" at once, it's bound for one of them to get less attention in the long run and maybe even failing at both if enough bad decisions are made.

I didn't ever consider your other statement though, and it actually makes so much sense. When I quit my job I had so much saved up and still thought it might not be enough, still being on the edge on whether I should wait more or not. But since I knew I had enough, I made a lot of mistakes in my first project, didn't pay enough attention to inefficient code, which eventually made me pay roughly 8 times more than I should per month on some backend infrastructure. I'm honestly just now realizing that the thought of knowing I had enough saved up was probably what made me work so inefficient at first. I fixed most of those issues after some time, but I think that's really sound advice to keep in mind moving forward.
