🔗 Haunted by my own projects

I feel like my own side projects haunt me sometimes. I want to build new and shiny things, I buy domain names, I get 90% of the way there… and then eh. Time for something new and shiny again.

But now, I’m at a point where I just finished a super busy time at work, it’s a holiday week without a ton to do, and I have the energy and motivation to code… and I am stuck. I really, really want to work on something new from my pile of project ideas.

But, I am also haunted by my own side projects that are almost done, some that are so close it would almost be stupid to not work on them.

But they aren’t shiny anymore!

And the annoying thing too is that these are projects that I really do want to exist in the world. I think I just know how much work is involved to get them going again, and that amount of work is daunting (but something new is unknown and thrilling).

I really don’t know how to overcome this. Probably with good ol’ “discipline” or something. I wrote this post with the intention to get me in the groove of just working on anything that might partially exist already. It has kinda worked. Maybe. We’ll see what I ship next.
