This is just some thoughts I want to share. I got a huge problem with impulsively announce decisions and finding out how much time it consumes doing the task, and it all comes falling flat on my face.
I need to stop doing this, I can do any project I desire, I just cannot from here on out announce anything until I'm done or close to done. It's the only way to keep enjoying what I do and not end up incredibly miserable.
I'm being serious, I can't get anything done with how impulsively I decide on and then announce my projects.

Think about it, how many people do you know who swear they're joining a gym or they're going on a diet EVERY New Years and never go through with it? The announcement itself gives a sudden rush of dopamine (a reward) and as you've already felt the award - you have no need to continue.
Keep the goals to yourself, and don't set dates or expectations. Anything I do will be done when it's done.
