Idle Success

Idle Success splits your time between studying, working, and hobbies as three separate meters rather than one combined progress bar, and which path, entrepreneur, athlete, artist, actually opens up depends on which of those three you've invested in most consistently.

Because early stats gate which careers even become available later, spreading time evenly across all three in the opening stretch tends to keep more career paths open than committing hard to one track immediately. Once a career path is chosen, redirecting time toward the specific skills that path rewards usually outpaces continuing to split effort evenly the way the early game called for. Hardware Tycoon covers a similar long-term progression grind focused on running a business instead of a life.
