To actually do work on a hobby project, I have to find something about it actually interesting. Building yet another CRUD app in a standard language and framework for a Business Factory may be productive, but it's kind of dull. Meh unless you're paying me market wages for it. I usually try to pack things that are interesting to me into hobby projects. Maybe the business goal, or using a language or framework that's new to me, or an interesting deployment technique, etc. Maybe I'll learn something actually useful to me, or maybe the new thing will be a dead end. If the end product is useful enough to me and the language etc turns out to be a dead end, I might rewrite it in something more maintainable, rather than just let it die.
