It’s always important to remember that side projects are important, but you can never lose sight of your main goal. This may sound obvious, but it’s an easy trap to fall into and it’s something that I’ve definitely done in the past. You start a side project because your main one has stagnated. Then you help a friend with their project, after that you start another main project and completely lose focus on what you were working on in the first place. This is how projects get abandoned and it’s a vicious cycle. So if you want to actually complete projects, never lose sight of your main goal. I find the best way to do this is to always schedule your main project into your planner, even if it’s just for an hour or two a day. You’ll never forget about it and it will stay fresh so you don’t lose progress. - N.N.
