i have the same trouble with non-paying projects (whether they're for myself or a friend). i actually get a little panicky when i realize i could be using the same time to make money.
What i think might work (but haven't gotten myself to do) is set out a schedue for the week. These days i work on paying stuff, these days i work on personal stuff. And stick to it unless a deadline or something is looming. Treat yourself like a paying client. Maybe even set dealines for yourself. But like i said, i haven't been able to do it either.
i did recently work on something that had a deadline but was not paying work and i was free to do as i please with it. The deadline helped keep me motivated to work on it and in the end (even if nothing comes of it) it was extremely satisfying to see it thru and complete it- cool that sounds like a good idea. i need to get organizedhitsuji
