It's a different thing I think, but noticing that I sort of just got demotivated and let good projects fall by the wayside helped me launch what eventually became DEV. I told myself I wouldn't stop working on it for ten years, regardless of how successful or unsuccessful it was. I just thought I gave up on other things too soon.
Anyway, it's been quite successful and I'm happy I gave myself that rule.
I agree about the ten year rule of thumb. It's a nice way to prioritize. I had the same problem too in a different manner. So many ideas that inspire me. I just had to choose and commit.
