Keep Side Projects Confidential
- Keep side projects secret from employers until you can safely leave.
- Avoid telling coworkers to prevent being labeled or targeted during layoffs.

- He left teaching twice and preferred anonymity while building an independent career.
Plan Visuals Alongside Script
- Plan visuals while drafting the script, not after.
- Write a short note for each paragraph describing what will appear on screen.
