The article explores the author's experience balancing three digital roles: a blog focused on culture and technology, a media and marketing startup, and an independent news site. The author wrestles with the tension of fulfilling client needs while feeling compelled to address urgent societal challenges, particularly around democracy and rights. Each morning poses a dilemma: which aspect of their career to prioritize amidst rising tensions in society. The struggle reflects a broader conflict many face in modern work-life balance, especially in a tumultuous political climate.

My mind keeps drifting to the stories that sit half-written while I help a startup optimize its content strategy. How do you balance building a business with documenting the collapse of democracy?
