How so you guys motivate yourself when starting a side project/learning new language/technology? I am having some problems sitting down and working on my own stuff :(

    Just rest if you feel like it so you don't burn out.

    You will work on side projects when you feel like it

    Mostly it's this great idea or a goal you want to accomplish that gives you the drive.
    But the longer/hard/boring a project becomes it might help to setup a todo list with small simple steps.
    This way it's not hard to stay focused and keep working on it.

    Some say break it to as small a piece as possible and just do bits by bits. You need a function that only does something benign, add it to a list.

    Likewise, what do you do if you really want to start a side project to practice/learn something, but can't come up with anything to actually DO for the side project?
