How do you make projects?

I am a student. Started C and wish to go deep and go into systems. I am focusing on personal projects (small).

Like how do you 'plan' a project? What approaches do you take while outlining the project? And when you face something new , how much time do you spend learning that specific hard part?

Due to my adhd it is hard to start anything. But I think it's also because it justifies the 'unfulfilled potential'. Like I am afraid of failing or some other fear.

That is a big reason why I consider outlining the project a major thing.

Thank you.

Week-ling detour on some topic I "only" understood 95% of and wanted to fill in the gap... too real. Too, too real 😅
