backs away from the book series I'm working out

Learning something new is a source of happiness, and there's no better way than hurling yourself into the deep end.

For me, it depends on how much time I have before starting. If the start is immediate, "I'll figure this out on the fly" then ride that "oh, shit I don't know what I'm doing" adrenaline fueled dopamine wave all the way to borderline success. If I have lots of time before starting I'll over analyze then try and fail to become an expert and give up before starting.

This is the exact opposite for me. I put off doing things if I'm unfamiliar, even if it's a tiny project.

I'm in this picture and I have a love/hate reaction to it.

More often than not it worked...

Was going to say this. With a set of calipers and some trial and error, you can make functional things very well

It is effective for many.

Realizing this is what causes like 80% of my burnout was a game-changer. Instead of dropping everything now, I try to take that urge as a sign to get more creative with my current project. Maybe tie it to another one of my interests instead of giving up.

Fools rush in

How hard could it be?
