For my side project i have a simple text note in a web notes app.

In that note i have a list of around 10 things i should do next, ordered by priority.

That's it. Either i work on one of the ten items or i do not. Only when i finish some items i add new ones. (Of course i also sometimes just reorder or delete stuff from the list.)

There are weeks where i do nothing and in those weeks i do not waste time with "busy work" but just look at the list from time to time and see that i am not motivated to work on the important stuff so i do not work on it at all.

Oh and i have a paper notebook where i sometimes sit in a coffeeshop and just do thinking by writing in the notebook. Thinking about the side project and its future. After the session i update the list of things to do.
