How to Make Time for Your Side Project

Delegate the areas that you can’t do or don’t want to do so that you can build and launch your side-project.

One of the biggest bottlenecks (excuses?) keeping me from gaining traction on my project is finding a good creative designer. I haven't an artistic cell in my body -- I'm all binary. So I need a good wingman to help put a pretty face on my ideas.

And while I know I could put a barebones product together and have someone come in after the fact and put makeup on it, I really need this going on in parallel to see it coming together, which in turn helps me maintain momentum.

Am I alone in this? What have you done to overcome this?

You are not alone. I have the same problem, but have not been able to overcome it yet. I look forward to hearing some anecdotes about doing so.

I struggle with this, but have gotten somewhat better at it. The biggest thing is to just keep iterating and trying different things. You'll start to get a sense of what looks 'good'.

This is an alternative to finding a creative designer.
