Work on something you like. Don't care about money or fame. Use your side project as your playground to learn new things by doing mini projects within your side project: - Want to learn about testing? Add test coverage. - Want to learn about webcomponents? Find a way to integrate it. You don't have to finish all the mini projects. Dropping something is fine, you still have the experience and knowledge! What really helped for me in keeping steam is publishing the source of my side projects on GitHub. The idea that someone else uses your code is very satisfying. Once some traction comes, the pull requests and issues start coming in and it gets even more fun. And when you get bored? No problem, just switch to a different side project or think of a new mini project.
