How to stay motivated and productive on your side project?

Hey there! I know firsthand how tough it can be to manage a side project. It can feel like you're spinning plates, trying to balance a full-time job, family responsibilities, and other commitments all while pursuing your passion project. It's easy to feel discouraged when progress is slow, and it can be tough to stay motivated when there are so many competing priorities. One thing that's help me is setting small goals and celebrating each accomplishment along the way. What methods do you use? How do you maintain momentum when progress is slow? How do you balance competing priorities?
