How can I effectively juggle multiple projects as a solo developer?

I manage my multiple projects with a good dose of panic and anxiety! It’s all part of the fun, right?

I totally understand the struggle! When I manage multiple projects, I focus on batching my week instead of trying to make daily progress on all three. For example, I might dedicate two days to my big app, two days to the smaller tools, and then squeeze content creation into mornings or late evenings. Batching content really helps too; I try to create multiple posts in one go and schedule them out, rather than stressing over daily posts. Also, remember, every time you finish those one-month tools, that’s content for your social media! Let your projects support each other.

Honestly, it's all about finding what works best for you. There are tons of to-do apps out there, so pick one that fits your style! Personally, I use Timeator, which also helps me with invoicing. You might want to try something like GitLab for ticketing. Just make sure you put in as much effort into managing your time as you do into building your apps.

Finding balance can be tough, but having a structured schedule can really help.

One tip I have is to steer clear of Jira if you can. It can be a bit overwhelming for solo projects. I also find that using separate laptops for each project helps create a mental boundary, making it easier to switch between them.
