Reminds of this post that was HN 9 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27833064. Both had some pretty useful tips for someone like myself who doesn't have a systematic approach for productivity.
This article really got me back on track with my side project. I haven't managed to work on it regularly for a couple of months - always seemed a bit daunting on top of work. Now I turn up every day (think I've skipped one day since reading the article) and my only goal for the day is to review my todo list and give some thought to how I might tackle one item. I always feel like I can find the energy to do this and of course once I've actually got my mind on the task I generally end up spending an hour+ on it.
