This is a thing that I have learned as well.

I have done projects that seemed small, and then by the end they were enormous, but I knew them intimately.

But when I start a project with the idea of it being that big in my head from the start, I'll get stressed and psych myself out, sometimes from doing it at all.

There's something to be said for ignoring the forest for planting the tree, to turn a proverb on it's head.
