[CloudBuddy]

The key is to do it when you wake up. Just set your alarm 5 minutes earlier and spend those extra 5 minutes working on your project. It's tough, but try not to dwell on 'only being able to work X time on it' as this doesn't add value. I'd definitely recommend pacing yourself so that you finish your project. Consistency is the key. If you can commit 5 minutes each day to working on it, you will be well on your way.

[CloudBuddy]

This is what I followed when I built CloudBuddy (https://cloudbuddy.cloud). For any side project it starts off being exciting and looking like a climbable mountain. Then when you start getting into it, it seems daunting. Each day I would tell myself I am going to put one foot in front of the other and walk up the mountain. No matter how slow it seems, I will make it to the top. Some days I was so burned out; those were the days that I only worked 5 minutes on it and called it a day. Other days, I was into it and naturally blew beyond the 5 minutes.

It took me 2 years and 3 months to launch CloudBuddy (which has paying users). There isn't anything special about me or my circumstances - I'm married, have a child and have a day job.

If anyone is having difficulty working consistently on their side project and it would help to have someone to talk to, email or drop me a line. My contact info is in my profile.
