This really sums up the idea of what I've been trying to express to myself the past few months on my stagnated side-project. I know if I work iteratively, the small pieces start to add up quickly.

However for me the trick is to get that initial push to start the work, even if the effort itself is small and manageable. It's hard for me to get motivated.

I posted to my blog this weekend. It was a small victory, but one that made me feel better all weekend, and will make me more motivated to jump back in again.

Most with creative side-projects suffer the same trouble as you and I: trouble starting. I try to remind myself of how good I'll feel after, and also limit my time to 45 minutes on the computer - thereby avoiding sinking an entire weekend into something that resembles "work".
