I'm similar that when I want to do something in my own time I need lots of the time to set into the mood to actually open the editor and drop some lines of codes. I found out sooner I open the editor more of my time I spend actually doing something rather than listening to YouTube or reading Hacker News or playing chess. But recently I came to realize that I must change how I utilize my spare time as, you know, we are not getting younger and I'm not one of those lucky ones who worked for unicorn startup. I reflected on how to be better at not wasting time and one idea that popped in to my mind was to get somebody else involved and build something together. A little bit like pair studying in high school or at uni. I'm just kicking in so can't provide more feedback, but I'm moderately optimistic about the idea.
