Stop looking for productivity 'techniques' that others have found to work for them and just do the best thing I can think of now to get something done.
Momentum tends to work better than any one 'technique'.
I didn't feel the user interface was ready. Also, as the system is a database at heart it has to be absolutely rock solid.
Planning to launch on the 5th of Feb, which is the date (4 years) since I wrecked my knee and started working on this project to keep my mind busy. See https://velox.io
Nothing stopped me, I was trying to build it out. 2016 will be my year to get beta users and really get things going. You can check it out at http://localhost:3000 ;)
start with me-too products. just go through the app store. make another todo list.
a lot of it is practice and experience; even if you don't have any ideas you like, you can get the practice and experience in while you're looking for the idea you believe in.
besides, sometimes those me-too products tend to have lives of their own.
I'm starting s podcast to help with this problem. The idea is I pick 1 small business / industry a week, and do 5 interviews with different business owners from that industry, asking about their business, the problems they face, etc.
Launched earlier this year with a $500 budget, now making ~1.2k revenue per month trying to grow it further. Still need to get a job though, $200/mo is not much fun for food in Seattle.
Too many hours devoted to employer. I already have something bootstrapped active (movinggauteng.co.za), but stagnating a bit. Wanted to launch a small December idea to take my mind off my 2 jobs. This year I'm aiming to work no more than 48 hours a week for employer, start making money on bootstrapped product, and enjoy my life more.
Took over a year to find the right direction and didn't start building the product until the end of August. This stuff takes a lot of time. When I was young I never understood the unhygienic programmer stereotype. Now I have become its embodiment.
I didn't launch sooner as I was focused on too many projects. Finally buckled it down and drove my project to completion. Official launch will occur in a week or two: http://rallycoding.com/
Congratulations Stephen. I have taken your Udemy course, "Build Web Apps with React JS and Flux" and it is probably the best coding course that I've ever experienced. The level of support that you provide in the chat section of the course and by email is unbelievable. It's almost like getting 1:1 mentoring? I'm just starting your Native React Udemy course now.
