What must be the proper steps to work on a project or on a side project and finish it without losing interest ✌🏻️

    Get something working first. I find that I spend too much time picking a framework, or futzing with with project structure, or setting up the build process. Get something working first, then refactor your process. I find that once I have something working I am much more interested in it.

    @tytho do you work alone or in a team?

    @rvbugs0 I work in a team professionally, and I have some side projects. Our mantra as a team is to work towards an MVP while writing tests for it, then come back to it and refactor. Writing the tests along side our MVP makes it pretty good quality to begin with, and makes it really easy/enjoyable to refactor. That and our PM is awesome about scheduling in technical debt. Scratch those itches!

    Make something with a purpose. Tell a friend to tell you a project to ease their work. And I am not talking about that kind of people that say that doing a website is easy.

    May be develop something that you or your friends/family will use regularly.. that way you will have constant feedback and improvements over time... and there is less chance of loosing interest if that product is providing value..
