Ask HN: Name a mistake you continually make.

I'm personally a terrible judge of character. More often than not people turn out to be the opposite of what I originally judge them to be.

procrastinate

Assuming it'll only take XX days to get it done.

I usually undervalue my work product. Specifically when it comes to pricing a product, or service.

To try and combat this weakness I have started to solicit opinions (pay for professional help) on pricing and market position before making decisions.

Reading hacker news instead of actually doing something

Motivation to workout. I'm not obese or anything, and I realize the importance of exercise but I still can't seem to find the time to do it more than once a week.

Forget important stuff like meeting times, names, etc.

Booting the computer in the morning.

Hiring friends or family members

Falling in love with the idea of something, while ignoring the reality.

I often find the idea of doing something more intimidating than actually doing it. Especially socially.
