Starting out Small! Avoid Overthinking.

So you're thinking about starting a personal project to escape the rat race of the rigged education system, then you start wondering how many users will use your product? How will you market the product ? How will you get the money needed to maybe run servers, and have a team work with you, etc. After this you end up doing nothing and terminating the project totally only because you thought you wasn't going to be able to market the product you haven't even built.

Overthinking does no Good

So what do you have to take from this, when thinking about starting a project there are many things to consider but when you overthink and go into every little details there is needed to make the project a successful one you'll end up doing nothing. So instead , first consider the basics things you need to start implementing your idea and then get to work and let life take its course.

Conclusion

If you try this in every thing you do not only programming projects you'll find that overthinking is a really damaging practice because it usually even make you feel overwhelmed due to too much things you want to figure out before hand.

As usual I'm writing small articles for self improvement and mindset shifting , I'll be going into technical stuff less than this.
