lately i've been trying to kill 2 birds with one stone - using my spare time to create open source modules that support what I'm doing at work, but also are something I can take with me and use on my own projects. To get away with it, I look ahead and predict what I'll be working on down the road, then I build some modules on the weekend. Then next week when the need arises, I can say "hey I built this thing that might help, want to use it?" at this rate i should have a full framework done by the time i'm ready to move on (this strategy works with OSS, but could be done with blogging too. like how Ryan Hoover blogged furiously about his previous job before ProductHunt.)
