My advice would be to spend less time coding. Get a girl friend, wife, kids spend more time with them. Or have a hobby other than coding. This will make you a better coder and a better entrepreneur of your side projects.

By forcing your time to be more scarce, you’ll spend less time on stuff that wastes your time.

One example that kind of follows the same logic: for sides projects I love using Heroku. It means I spend less time deploying, but also it charges me for some simple services. Normally, I’ll spend $7 to $23/month for any “serious” side project. So why do I like to pay Heroku money? If i’m not willing to pay $7/month for that project, it’s probably not a project I should do. Its stops me from building all kinds of useless crap and hosting it for free.
