Don't forget about the part where you actually do start on the project, but then you read one article or find another tool/software package that makes you second guess everything you've already done and you go back down another rabbit hole.

IME this "second-guessing" is more often right than wrong. You can always return to a project that motivates you, but you can't get back time spent digging a hole deeper, and often it leads to tunnel vision and bad habit formation.

Not every "project" needs to become "finished" or "product".

My problem is scope creep. It's much harder to tell myself no vs. being on an engineering team at a company and there being a set process.
