This is how I was with side projects for a long time. I'd get excited on a project, work on it for several months, then be lose interest and stop working on it.

I changed my approach after reaching The One Thing. It helped me set a goal (work on it until July no matter what, and if I don't get any sales, it's time to move on) and i've been working on it 2-4hrs a day.

Every since, September 2019 I've been working on (For A Piece)[https://www.forapiece.com/?ref=hackernews]. This has been the longest i've worked on a side project and I'm really proud of that.
