A one-side-project-per-month challenge
I'm surprised by all the negative reactions. Of course you're not going to be making anything substantial in a month (most likely). Instead, you'll learn to actually finish (or semi-finish) projects and ship them regularly.<p>This is very much like One Game a Month (<a href="http://www.onegameamonth.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.onegameamonth.com/</a>). The idea is that write, learn, ship. It's nice.<p>If you find that one of your projects takes off, or you really like it, then continue to work on it.<p>Edit: grammar
