Yes Side projects should normally be measured by you don't want to go to bed because you want to do just one more thing rather than you can't go to bed because you need to finish some thing. It should be purely driven by desire.
Jeez, I wish I could verbalize things like this because they are so insightful. Thanks for that. It makes sense, but I'd never think to phrase it like that, and hence it doesn't seem apparent that's what I want in my side projects. But the abstract gut feeling is essentially that.
