I engineered my life to keep working on side projects for the rest of it, getting a low stress job with low but decent pay. These are some points I try to keep in mind when making them:

* Inspiration is the most valuable fuel in the universe: Spend some, save some, replentish.

* It's MVPs all the way up: focus on the most important tasks, prioritize the most difficult ones. If that gets done the rest is easier, but don't waste too much time on that.

* Forget about it: Let the project rest in the freezer for a few days. Revisit what the project should accomplish with a clear mind. Use it daily, suffer from bugs and missing features.

* Damn! It isn't what people want: The project might need to be oriented in another very different direction. New features might be required that will eclipse the original idea. It's depressing, but is the idea worth it?

* Get better at sales: and this is the part I'm still working on...
