It CAN be potentially foolhardy, but one approach I like to getting into things is saying 'Yep, I can do that", then panic later. However, it could get you into trouble when not being able to deliver on a project.

I talk a lot on here at moving at your own pace. But then I also counter that myself with how fast I move, there is something to be said about keeping your creative momentum up.

Naturally, it's hard to see the progress you're making until you step back. I think this goes for your confidence and mental health as well. I chat about that for a while coming off my first stand up comedy set.
