Hi everyone

Side projects have played a huge role in my career, friendships, and quality of life. I’ve just launched a free email course titled, “5 Side Project Mistakes Developers Make.” It’s a week’s worth of lessons, one per day, full of stories, tips, and advice for planning, executing, and shipping side projects.

I’ve managed to ship 10+ side projects over the last few years while working a full-time job. While an email course can only scratch the surface of the lessons I've learned along the way, I’m think it provides value for anyone struggling to ship their projects. I hope you check it out, and I'd love your feedback.

Perhaps. I'm lucky to work a job I love, so I have that privilege.

But there used to be a lot of stuff I hated doing that I've been able to ditch. I probably could have written that point in a more realistic way.

It's simple, but not necessarily easy.

Heh. That's why I called it out in the post too. It's definitely something I've fallen into.

Reading about productivity can be useful, IF you use what you read. Most don't.

If you don't act on what you learn you're just escaping.

I think many many are in a similar boat. I try to tell myself the above and realize that I should spend my "reading" time on things other than "productivity." I.e. planned procrastination isn't a bad thing. Just don't fool yourself that you're being productive.

That's definitely something to keep in mind. Thanks for the reminder :)

It's so easy to focus on getting shit done, to the exclusion of treating yourself well sometimes. I think I need to plan a follow-up.

Thanks for sharing my post!
