It's tough to find the time and mental energy to work on my own software project after working a full-time job... plus overtime... plus spending time with my spouse... plus spending time with pets... plus having a social life (kind of). That's why I wake up a couple of hours before work everyday to try to sneak in a tiny bit of coding on my project. I'm just hoping that tiny bit by bit will add up to something large 🤞 #devstr #developer #burnout #solodev #hustle #coding
I feel this one. Working for free is tough
Yup! Without funding, personal projects are completely passion driven. And burnout is a passion killer, so that just leaves discipline and routine to push forward in times when that passion wanes below 100 percent.
Discipline > motivation/ passion!!
For sure!
