I've got more unfinished projects than a procrastination champion. Maybe I should hire a project finisher!

I have figured out this. I often get dm of freshers on LinkedIn looking for work. I have converted all of my unfinished work into assignments to evaluate them.

Smart move!

I have a list in Things for just that, that's filled with more than 250 ideas, from brand, app, service, event and even available domains. Most are ok I guess, but all of my side projects came from this and those have been fairly popular, so I just have to start creating 🤷‍♂️

As for the spark, that's a difficult one. I try to juggle my hobbies (which development is one of them) and I'm fairly bad at it. I'd start a project now and then and get super pumped, but then loose interest after some time and leave it half finished...

I feel you…I am right there with you. It’s exhausting. With my ADHD…I get this surge of dopamine that I am really on to something. Then it’s gone.

Yeah, totally this. There has to be a system that works for us though, we just haven’t figured it out yet 🤞

Me and @sahiltheway have projects on Linear. It’s been easier for us create tickets and start researching/working on them.

I usually think of an idea, and if it sticks around in my head by the time I start working on it, then it was probably a decent idea

I keep a notebook near me at all times. Sometimes once I am done writing it down I take photos and save them on Telegram.

i write them in Notes app or text it to myself at first. If i keep thinking about it, I write a google doc. Usually turns out like a PRD-style doc to outline my idea and how i want to build it
