I'm not trying to brag but I've done that twice and I have a 3 year old!

It's true if the fixation is on really complex projects but if you can do a few very important things then anything is possible.
1) Just like creating a tiny abstract function reign in your idea and give it the least amount of surface area possible:

2) Your enthusiasm half life needs to be long for what you do. That's why it's so much better to focus on something you care about.

The third important thing is daily momentum. Never don't do "something" even if it's tiny. You just have to do something every day.
Man I just grab 30 mins or 1 hour and knock out a task any time I can!
