I feel that, I’m often doing a thing thinking “this is wrong it won’t work for xyz” but continue because I want it to work, only to give in to what I knew a day+ ago but refused to acknowledge. It would definitely be more efficient to listen to.. myself, and kill things early.
I guess the hardest bit is finding the line between stubbornly pushing dead idea forward vs "wouldn't it be cool if <...your idea...>, neah, that won't work" and you never even try.
