Comment on Ask HN: When do you say no to a personal passion project?

Comments

Maybe set a goal for yourself.

If your goal is to learn certain skills, it sounds like maybe you’ve already done that.

If it’s to build a product that works for you, maybe you’ve done that too.

If it’s to make $500/month, then maybe keep going.

Or if it’s to grow the business into a full time job, keep going as well.

A goal will give you direction and motivation and a clear stopping point.

I am all for the use of goals, and I think I hit mine goal to learn with these projects. Now I'm in the weird goal-less limbo after achieving the original goal where I can re-evaluate and decide whether or not I want to keep going down this route. This is where I'm a little stuck.
