We over-estimate the value of the grand gesture
We under-estimate the value of small actions done consistently over time

A great side project
• Is designed to be as small as possible
• Can be done in small increments
• Success defined in terms of learnings (not “what can I get”)

Reflection
• how did this feel?
• what did I learn?
![Page 44: EPIP Webinar: Climbing the career mountain with well designed side projects](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030402/58a061771a28ab5c1c8b6e05/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Summary• Design your side-projects to be as small as possible
• Do small increments that build on each other
• Success defined in terms of learnings (not “what can I get”)
• What looks like a detour can be a shortcut
• Start with a clear intent, but always be open to what it eventually becomes
