Making Side Projects That Won't Burn You Out

Description:

All the designers, creative people and startup founders know it: Side projects are very uplifting and rewarding when they succeed, but a shameful secret when they don't come true.
In fact, only very few of side projects succeed. The main reason is that they remain low in our priorities: after work-that-pays-rent, family&friends quality time and… life.
What if we could share with you a process and key habits that help you carry out your side projects until reaching success: How to keep motivated, focused and organised? How to overcome the feeling of loneliness and the numerous doubts? How to resist the urge of jumping from one project to another? How to stay connected to your initial vision and keep faith in your capabilities?
