Struggling to finish your side project?
You can do it! If you focus on doing the next thing that needs to be done every single day, you can finish your project.
Configure your project
Give it a name and decide how much time you can work on your project every single day. This should be the minimum amount of time you have available. This number is important because the work you do needs to fit within this timeframe so you can complete something every day.
Record the Next Thing
This should be the next thing that can be done within the time you have available. You can have up to 3 next things. Get it all out of your head and into the app so you have everything you need when you sit down to work on your project.
Work on your project every day
Sit down and do the next thing. If you don't know the next thing, the next thing is taking time to figure out the next thing. Once you are done with something, complete it, celebrate it, and move on to the next thing.

- Who is this for?
- Maintainable Momentum is meant for individuals with a limited amount of time who are struggling to focus and complete their side projects.
- Why only 3 tasks?
- Once you start looking past the next 1-2 next things, you start entering planning mode. Planning takes time and energy to maintain, and projects frequenctly deviate from a plan that is longer than a few steps. For side projects, you can just focus on what's next and adapt as you go along.
- Why only 3 projects?
- Maintainable Momentum is built for those who have a limited amount of time, sometimes as little as 15 minutes a day. When you don't have a lot of time already, diluting what litle time you have between three or more projects drastically decreases your likelihood of successfully completing any one of those projects.
- Why is this not a website?
- It very well could be an SPA, but the convenience of having everything local and not requiring an internet connection is very nice.
- What do you do with my data?
- Nothing. The data never leaves your device, there are no analytics or other trackers installed. It's your data.
- Why no ads?
- This is meant as a help to those working on their projects, and advertisements would detract from the functionality.
