Having the knowledge that you'll be passionate about a big project at the outset, but that there's a serious risk of suddenly feeling overwhelmed and/or disinterested and needing to abandon the whole thing in the middle, leaving a much worse mess than when you started. Better to leave it alone.

    I do this a lot. It took me until my later 30s to fully recognize the pattern. I used to spend so much damn money on hobbies right away only to become disinterested later. I do this with projects at work sometimes where the end part feels like a soulless slog of torture to get done.
