Our time is invaluable. We do everything to make the most of it, we want better products because we don't want to waste our time. But productivity is a broad category. So, I'd like to ask you an even broader question: What do you think is NOT productivity?

Hey there! I know firsthand how tough it can be to manage a side project. It can feel like you're spinning plates, trying to balance a full-time job, family responsibilities, and other commitments all while pursuing your passion project. It's easy to feel discouraged when progress is slow, and it can be tough to stay motivated when there are so many competing priorities. One thing that's help me is setting small goals and celebrating each accomplishment along the way. What methods do you use? How do you maintain momentum when progress is slow? How do you balance competing priorities?

Success and failure can mean different things to different people, and it's important to define what those terms mean for you and your work. What is your definition of success and failure in your work?
