I think another important thing to do is to choose a software development methodology for personal (or small group) projects. In my case, I like the agile software development for my personal projects, it makes the projects more enjoyable.

When there's anyone else involved, I agree with you.

But when I'm just working on it myself, for myself, and not interacting with others about it, I find it's best just to free-form it.

Agreed, free forming is great for 1 person projects.

Or teams of 2-3 when trust is high. Good teamwork can trump any methodology.
