I'm not a persistent person and have generated tons of half baked prototypes. But throughout the years, I found myself improved in terms of side-project management, from not able to launch anything, to launch but abandon something, and to actively maintain a project and feel rewarding. I feel that I'm in a state that working on side-project has become my habit, instead of an impulsive spree. Every night, I spend 2 hours on it, otherwise, I have no better way to kill my time anyways. What I learned is that focusing on short term goals, is better than thinking or designing for the far future. I use gitlab, and its issue board helps me organize the tasks. When I don't feel like working, like when I'm tired from work, I still spend time looking at the task board. I reorder the tasks based on their impacts and based on their difficulty. So that I can interleave the hard and the easy ones, and make sure I can always finish some tasks within 2 hours each day.
