- Wait for the perfect conditions to launch.
- Put time and effort on any tasks that are not related to your main project .
- Beat yourself up daily for not shipping.
- Overload your to-do list with unnecessary tasks, and feel guilty for not completing them.
- Avoid seeking help at all costs and try to figure everything out by yourself.
- Keep working on your project despite feeling miserable and sacrificing your relationships with your loved ones.
- Don't set goals. That way you'll never know if what you did was good enough and if you've reached the success criteria.
