In large personal projects I try to be thorough in my documentation and naming conventions it helps me to write more durable software. When I am on my own time I prefer to keep my software as durable as possible because I am not being paid a salary to qualify all the extra time spent on regression, defects, and reviewing prior decisions. I would rather spend this personal time on design decisions instead, and central to the corresponding planning processes is well written documentation. It also helps when the documentation is itself interactive.
