This is interesting! To clarify: in the first two weeks, you don't allow yourself to work on the idea (eg start writing code), but you do allow yourself to research the idea. And you find that the initial research phase usually turns up compelling reasons not to undertake the project after all. Is this right?
How do you prevent the research phase of a new idea from distracting you from your current project?
- bgdam 6y agoI usually have a fixed block of time for working on side projects on weekends. The research phase usually happens through the week, whenever I have the time to think about it. My problem generally is splitting the weekend time across too many projects, with newer ideas displacing older ones. Having much fewer ideas to work on in total, helps me spend more time on them.
