All of mine successful projects was created while learning new thing. I did learn Portuguese and can't find flashcards tool that I like, so I create mine, did learn to play piano and needed some way to practice sheet reading skill, so I created tool for that.
I am also wine maker and in need of one analytical tool and found out that it costs 30k, amount I can't afford (or even justify for business my size) so I found a way to create same tool that will costs just 3k.
First category is kind of simple: I do need it and the app is simple enough I can do it in few evenings so I just do it. The second category is something I really need and will be really happy if somebody else created it and because there is nothing like that on the market I have to do it by myself (and then sell it to other winemakers who I am sure need it as well).
The problem for me is the middle ground: something I found quite interesting (say nicely formatted tabs app with timing, sounds, fretboards...) and might use it from time to time. But the novelty wears off soon and I am not desperate to have it in my life. Still these kinds of projects need sustainable effort to make it work so I just keep working less and less on it and then quit.

- innguest 12y agoYour last sentence is the story of my life. I jump from topic to topic depending on what I'm currently interested in, then I think of a way to incorporate coding, then I put in some effort to get something working and as it progresses I become less and less interested. I suspect burnout. Let me know if you have any ideas.
