How to Start a Solo Project that You'll Stick With
summary
Builds a CLI called root that turns JSON trees into diagrams, implemented in Rust after a Ruby prototype, and it sticks because work stays tiny, measurable, and routine. Development takes about two months with a schedule of a few hours two to three nights a week. Execution time drops from 200 ms→5 ms between prototype and Rust, milestone tracking shows 50 downloads, and habit techniques like if-then plans and coping plans are the concrete tools that make progress repeatable.
