@evanEvan Prodromou in my own projects, if i don't keep some momentum they often fizzle out, but i also have to be careful to pace myself or i'll burn out on them as well. the winter months are especially difficult for this for me.
granted, the stakes are pretty low because (afaik) none of them are critical infrastructure. I have in the past had a project I didn't have the time or motivation to continue working on, and ended up abdicating ownership of it to the other person who was contributing to it.
