I agree wholeheartedly. I've been stuck in a rut of procrastination for the last several years, during which I hardly ever
started side projects or experiments due to tired old excuses such as "I simply don't have enough time", "This would at least need x hours per day", etc.
When I eventually tried to start something, it would inevitably be delayed by other daily things to carry out (work, family, other life related stuff), so not taking notes would always result in "" have no idea what I was aiming for last time".
Add to that a fairly (un)healthy dose of perfectionism coming from working in the same field, and you have a recipe for years wasted on complete inactivity.
Another fiend of this kind, friendly to procrastination, is the inability to decide what to actually work on, especially when you have a lot of interests.
Then the question becomes "I have hours available to work on something, but I cannot pull the trigger on any of those things that interest me", so back again to square 1 with year wasted on indecisiveness with nothing to show for it.
