Great to hear how you're doing Patrick, thanks for sharing.

> Even in weeks that I have blocked off to work on AR, I often find myself just lacking any desire to do it. The business isn’t intrinsically more boring that e.g. Bingo Card Creator, but the sort of things that I need to do to move it forward seem to hit my desire to work with a damp towel.

I seem to hit this phase with new product ideas around three months in and end up never finishing anything.

I have a web application that gets new (albeit unpaid for) signups daily, but even with a lot of free time[1] I lack the will to develop the product/marketing further.

Two things I will probably try:

1. MTFU, schedule some time, set some goals and force myself to do the work I need to.

2. Spec the work out and hire someone else to do it. Speccing the work out will probably make 1 easier to get started with however.

[1] Though I did just have a baby, so I might be selling myself a little short.
