Start the side project

  1. Write the idea in one sentence
  2. Text three people who'd use it
  3. Make the smallest version
  4. Set a goal or a price
  5. Share it where your people are

Chores

Each repeats after it was last done, so a missed day does not stack up

  • KitchenWipe the counters and stoveevery 3 days

Habits

  • 30 minutes on the side projectWeekdays at 8 PM
  • Drink a glass of water6 times a day
  • Most important task firstWeekdays at 9 AM

Why it works

  1. 1The project gets 30 minutes at 8 PM on weekdays, after the commute. Short, regular sessions keep the work moving.
  2. 2The first steps test the idea early. You text three people who would use it before you make the smallest version.
  3. 3The wind-down at 9:30 PM on work nights stops project time before bed. Sleep keeps energy for the job and the project.
