How do you stay motivated with side projects?

I always start with enthusiasm but burn out quickly. Anyone cracked the code here?

Switch between projects when I get bored - rotation keeps it fresh.

Build ugly prototypes fast - if the idea sticks, then polish.

Public shame - I announce projects so abandoning feels worse. ##10006 That reminds me of this!

Focus on projects that solve your own problems first.

Accept that most projects won't be finished and that's okay.

I work on projects with friends - mutual accountability helps.

I keep a 'wins' file of small progress to stay motivated. ##10004 That reminds me of this!
