It is a normal feeling and hard to overcome, I still get it sometimes and I've been working in a company for years.

If you can get an internship first it would be better, because you'll start as a beginner and you'll learn how to work in real life projects without having too much responsibility

Unfortunately for me, I just have to start building. Some projects get set aside for the future and I'm OK with that

Here are a few thoughts though:

  • Building with others can keep me on track and is often more fun
  • having a specific audience in mind can help (I build little websites for my students from time to time)
