A couple of weeks into my part-time development regime of 2019, and I'm beginning to get a grip of how much (little!) free time I really have. Knowing this should help inform how I plan development tasks going forwards out of my design phase.

I've completed my first full design of my smaller apps projects. I talk about the process a little more, how I'm using Affinity Designer, and designing for re-use.

In this micro-cast I talk about going into that next stage of requirement, beyond the initial app design.

For those keeping score at home, this episode was recorded against a back-drop of me returning back to work in mid-January. I talk a little about how I’m approaching balancing side project development alongside a full time job and my family.

I'm putting my first app through the design process. This means I'm discovering all the hidden flows and facets of the app that are easy to ignore or gloss over when you're just prototyping.

Along with initial designs, I've settled on a task management system, and keeping it simple is the aim of the game.

Looking ahead at my plans for 2019, it’s time to start planning. So how should I go about this?

With too many small app ideas, and a limited amount of spare time it’s time for Trello, shortlists and a process of whittling things down.
