2020 Project List - It's Time to Build
Back in October of 2019, I had set out to start a personal project building hiatus...
1 project / month
For 6 months
...then I got hired by a baby food company that wanted 20-30 hours a week,
...on top of a few other freelancing jobs.
It was doable - but yeah - only if I wanted to hate my f*cking life.
And that's just what happened...
I over-booked myself and became completely burnt out.
Which partly led me to decide to quit freelancing.
The one thing that was a bonus of over packing my schedule was the opportunity to create a stockpile of cash 🤑
...pretty lucky considering the pandemic...
With about 30K saved up, and having been granted an 'indefinite' emergency visa in Bali, I don't think there's been a better time to get back to building...
I'll have about 1-2K expenses per month, so as long as I don't have to throw a wrench in the plans for travel, getting robbed, or health concerns - I should have plenty of runway for 6 months and in time to head back to the US for the holidays, weddings, and a break in December.
So here's the plan for the projects through the rest of 2020...
- APRIL: Animali (animal conservation web app)
- MAY: SurfScreen Store (shopify), Nana Recipe app (flutter), #startsmall
- JUNE: UPPE (internet UN)
- JULY: Open Company (buffer style dashboard of revenue, salaries, etc. sharing)
- AUGUST: NPO Finance (more 'local-inclusive' app for funding projects)
- SEPTEMBER: Stack (what are the top things people use)
- OCTOBER: Barter (marketplace for exchanging services and goods)
- NOVEMBER: Medical history (personal health app)
- DECEMBER: Animali (mobile app)
It won't be a small feat - but f*ck will I learn a lot when I get through it all.
I plan on sticking to some of my favorite, current technologies - and trying not to learn too many new things as I want to build and not get caught in tutorial hell.
I've also packed the schedule with a reading list, a daily morning routine of breathing and language exercises and a few other things I'd like to learn.
I have a lot of extra energy and hours due to surfing being banned at the moment - so I do expect some less time once that is lifted.
But in the meantime, let the games begin...
Frothing mate...
