Having a Trello board with lots of planned work has always been helpful to me.

At the same time, with side projects, I like to have the freedom to work on whatever interests me at the moment. Most of my side projects haven't been huge money-makers, but more of a learning ground and creative outlet.

Having the right mindset for a side project is so important. Personally, focusing on learning and creativity trumps the need to make money. If I'm going to stay motivated, I definitely do not want my side project to feel like work. Great advice, thanks Karl!
