Thanks for reading! >Do you deal with motivation as an issue at all, and if so how? This does happen to me, but fortunately not too much. A big part of it is that because I'm choosing my projects, I'm able to pick things that I'm naturally excited about working on. The other is that I've found a virtuous cycle of: 1. I build something new or add a feature 2. I write a blog post explaining what I learned 3. People read about what I learned and check out the thing I built So, it's a way to frequently attract users, even if it's a brand new thing, and then having people test it out is motivating. There are two times I recall struggling with motivation this past year: While working on Is It Keto, it always felt like so much work and time before I could see if an idea was viable. Even just putting up a landing page for a new product and linking to it from the main site, I'd have to wait at least a week to get reasonable data on conversion rates. So, I found it hard to stay motivated when I didn't feel like I had a process that was working and didn't have confidence investing effort anywhere would yield results. The other was toward the end of the year working on TinyPilot. I promised a premium version of TinyPilot by the end of the year, and I was trying to figure out how to design license activation for it. But that's really boring because it meant several weeks of work on something that's not useful to users. I kept putting it off because I was never excited to work on it. Finally, I realized I could basically just go by the honor system and ask users to install on one device per purchase, and that cut out a lot of boring work and let me work on improving the product again. So my general experience is that when I'm feeling unmotivated, something is wrong and I have to make a change that makes me feel more naturally motivated to do the work.
