Try doing two things at the same time. Let one be the one you are hyper-excited about, but that is not going to make money. Let the other be the "work" that you carefully plan through and slowly work through. You can change the other project every 6 months, but let the main thing just be slowly worked through.
- pedalpete 16y agoI'm normally a big fan of your comments maxklein, but I would advise to exercise a bit if caution with this one. I suffer from the same problem (haven't found a solution yet), and I've done the 'get started on something else', but I find that I get more and more sucked into the new thing, and the old thing slides. If it can be organized ala Google 20% time, and make sure that the overarching goals don't get in the way, then I'd say it may work, but I don't think it is for everybody.
- maxklein 16y agoObviously, it does not work for everyone. For me it works, because the second project is like a "hobby". Hobbies help.
- billswift 16y agoIt works better if you refuse to let yourself work on your enthusiastic project until you have X amount done on the boring one, that is use it as a reward for making some kind of progress on the boring one.
