I'm not focused on any particular metric other than motivation here.
I'm sure some things on my ideas list could make a bunch of money - like taking some SaaS everyone hates because it's enshittified, making one that's not enshittified yet, then selling it to an enshittification company in a few years for a big payout. You'd think the possibility of money would be motivating, but it's not.
I do have unsuccessful side projects that I do sometimes work on, and I'm not motivated to finish them to any substantial degree either.
