What should my next side project be?

I'm reading "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life" by Scott Adams - great book.

In it, Scott recommends we all have 'side projects' to increase our personal energy level.

It's been a few years since I've worked on a side project.

I have a few ideas - could you help me out by letting me know which one you like or think might be a good idea to execute?

Quick background: I am an Efficiency Consultant. I currently help medium and large teams get better at using their software: mainly email, communication (ie. Slack), project management (ie. Asana), internal wiki (ie. Notion), and CRM (ie. Hubspot.)

I help these teams determine WHEN and HOW to use each software tool - ie. don't send email to communicate internally, when to send a Slack message vs. using a Project Management tool like Asana, etc.

If you've ever heard/read anything by Cal Newport - a lot of what I do now is putting into practice his thoughts around getting away from email/Slack to properly manage work for teams.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts and comments!

    1. Email Inbox 0 Coaching

    0
    Working 1-on-1 with people on how to get to and maintain Inbox 0. I prefer to work in Gmail but I have a lot of clients in Outlook as well. I've already done this for hundreds of people and it's not overly difficult but does require diligence.

    2. Hubspot (CRM) Admin and 'Optimizer'

    0
    I help you better run your Hubspot CRM - keep it up-to-date, relevant, and optimized.

    3. Slack Admin and 'Optimizer'

    0
    Same as above but for Slack.

    4. Asana Admin and 'Optimizer'

    0
    Same as above but for Asana.

    5. Zapier Expert for Design or Maintenance

    0
    Zapier is an automation software platform which glues software together in an, 'If this then that' style.

    An example: "If someone fills out my Google form, then send a notification to a Slack channel with the details."

    I am a certified Zapier Expert. I could help people design, troubleshoot, or maintain their libraries of Zaps.

    Zaps are amazing time savers but they can break or need updating.

    6. Small Business Software Consultant

    0
    Consult with small business owners on what software stack they should use - ie. which tools, 'how' and 'when' to use them, implement/train/coach their teams. Almost like a fractional CTO for a small business.

    7. Remote Worker Coaching

    0
    I am passionate about Remote Work. I could coach people on how to get a remote work job. Or, if you already are a remote worker, how to optimize your office setup, create your ideal day, achieve work-life balance, etc.

    8. Virtual Assistant Coach/Consultant

    0
    I have a lot of experience working as or with a VA. I could coach someone on how and what to outsource to a VA. I could maybe even match them to a VA and train the VA on how to do the requested work.

    9. Fitness/Nutrition Coaching fro Busy Remote Workers / Nomads

    0
    I used to help run a CrossFit gym and I have worked out religiously for 22 years at 6 AM. I could coach remote workers on how to get in good shape plus eat properly. I would come up with ideas for them, get them to commit, and then hold them accountable.

    10. Minimalism/Decluttering Coach

    0
    I am an extreme minimalist - I hate clutter. I could be a Marie Kondo type coach but with 2 different angles:
    1. more focused on men as I feel they are an underserved market vs most professional organizers who seem to cater to women.
    2. a heavy emphasis on digital decluttering as most of Kondo's teachings focus on physical spaces.
