Man I feel this all the time. I can't count the number of times I'm talking to my boss about something and I think "oh yeah, should be easy" and something will trip me up for a day
Yep, and the the more you work on it, the more issues and problems you run into that you need to figure out.
Not to mention the more things you see that you try to get fancy on. Which ends up taking even more time/effort, because you can't let it beat you.
I hear you... it's a killer isn't it.
The number of times I have made a rod for my own back with clients..... "Yea, I'll add that I'm for you no problem".....
The famous last words.
The can of worms opens and a few rounds of crisis of confidence and tears later, eventually get there and think, I'm keeping my mouth shut from here on in.
Rinse and repeat :)
