I have failed many side projects. For some of them, it took years to realise it was a mistake to have ever started even though I appreciated what was learned from them. I feel like I could only learn to get better at these decisions from experience and I haven't found a good mental model to apply to make better decisions very early on. I like how you put it though. Trying a thought experiment of how you would think of a project in the future in various scenarios and not only if it's going well. I will use that. Thank you.
