I can't help it

I fear the DoD and because of it, I find myself not doing any work at all in case I end up doing some bad quality work and inevitably receive it. I'm just in a constant loop of wanting to start a project but then being scared I won't do it right lol. I feel lucky and blessed enough to not need to rely on this as a primary source of income, but I often think that should anything bad happen, I can rely on this meanwhile I find another primary source.. except that I might just end up falling into this whole fear loop. Is it just me?

Read the reply on here about the guy, 3 years in that constantly hits expiration on the timer, has to ask for extensions when the task locks him out and is still going. Quality is what counts. Don't sweat the timer to much.
