I have become better at executing on projects by spending a lot more time thinking through the execution of potential projects instead of actually executing on them. I ask myself things like what kind of technologies or 3rd party libraries I might want to use, what the data model would look like, and how many REST endpoints I would need, and how difficult it would be to find a nice UX abstraction for what I want to build. This allows me to better evaluate how long it would take to finish and to evaluate the complexity and perhaps pick a better project to tackle in a short amount of time. Most projects that I have started will take between 1-3 months from start to finish (in my spare time). Before, I was never able to finish anything and I have a project folder that I worked up over the last 8 years that has probably 15 half finished projects that I never got a chance to complete. Heh and lets not talk about all the domains I have bought through the years for ideas that never went anywhere. I suppose I've been practicing idea squatting.
