Every project I do goes through 6 phases:
1- Oooh, I like this. I can do it, easily (even really tough stuff)
2-What a ridiculous job I'm making of this. I can't do this. I don't have the skills or the tools. I've just wasted a lot of time and a lt of money for junk.
3- I need to finish this anyway. Too much invested in it now.
4-Now that its finished, still a piece of junk. I have to stop wasting money. Why do I think I can do anything?
5-MMM, not too bad for an amateur.
6-You know, I really really like this! I did something waay cool!!
Sometimes I get stuck in 2, 3 or 4. I hate that! And I never remember 5 or 6 when I'm in the middle of stuff. I really hate the angst!
