I think it's different for me to build something small, and seeing how others use it is my biggest motivation.
Some of these side projects are apps that I built for one person only, and if I didn't finish them, I couldn't see the smile on the other person's face when they used their own personal app for the first time :-)
After a long struggle, I have managed to find a process that allows me to regularly finish my side projects instead of giving them up after a while. I have learned some lessons that I wanted to share and I hope that they will be helpful for others.
