I had an interesting idea for solo dev work recently. Pretend to be two people. One as the maker, one as the manager.
Create a private Discord server, and create a second user account in another browser profile to be the "manager".
Then chat to yourself.
The rule is that the manager cannot code, and must delegate all tasks, and is obsessed with shipping fast. Write a small document of the manager's explicit goals, what they like and dislike in employees.
I find when managing real people at work there is a big difference in your behavior when you aren't allowed to code - there is much more clarity into what is really important.

It's silly, but maybe it works.
