Something that helped me is to think of side projects as projects where you try and go as far as you can. Not as projects where you will revolutionize the world.

Keep in mind that most projects do compromise one way or another. If you're looking for an idea that's 100% good and ideally feasible, then yes, you'll probably never get to it.

That said self-skepticism is useful as well...
