I wonder how much of this is "cool new tool I want to try and play with" vs genuine technical capabilities? I'm guessing you know how to write software already. I think part of what might be happening is the inertia of starting with a project seems to be lifted. It is almost like instant gratification. I'd rather have the cup of coffee in front of me vs having to up and make it sort of thing.

But I wonder how much of that putting off was actually a real assessment of how much time and effort a project would take, vs a sort of feeling or assumption that it would be tough, and perhaps avoidant behavior as a result where the task is constantly backburnered?

This is how it is with my personal projects. Hard to decide to sit down and started but once the ball is rolling, I pretty much get the entire thing done in one sitting, learn something and feel satisfied and accomplished. Never takes too much time as I assume. But boy to get started is the real tough part sometimes.
