How do you handle more than 1 job?
My first job takes up most of my week, how on earth can you handle more than one, let alone 2, 3 or 4??

There are still many many jobs out there where the actual obligations rarely require a full 40 hour work week.
See it from this perspective as a developer: How often would a developer run into cases where they need to add a day to test an implementation, or a day to gather requirements, or half a day to implement unit testing, or adding an extra day or two to cover being blocked by a stakeholder?
You should understand that in many cases (not all), you can manage expectations so that the employer/manager is happy with the work delivered, you deliver the work, and any extra hours you "saved" by over estimating you can do with other jobs. ...

From an audio perspective, especially with respect to meetings, you can take a look at https://discord.com/channels/1181304501999784027/1181311055243255891 to handle multiple calls. Having an AI transcription bot also help reduce the amount of times you say, "Sorry, can you repeat that?"
Lastly, and this is more relevant for hourly contracting 1099/c2c work.. just make sure your stakeholders agree to your estimates. If they're too strict about your hours, then adjust expectations or find a new contract that where the amount of hours is not fully utilized compared to the amount of work. They're out there, and it may not be apparent when you see it on the job description, and it may take a few whack a moles before you find good decent OE friendly companies.
