Like another comenter, I'd say mine was "not starting". More specifically writing. I often get ideas about articles I'd like to write but I just end up talking myself out of it.
This past Sunday morning - like countless others - I woke up with an idea comparing JavaScript ES5/ES6 to vanilla ice of various quality and decided to just post it in all its shitty glory on Twitter. It didn't go viral and I didn't gain any fame from it... but I wasn't the only one that found it funny (my biggest fear crushed) so it's a start, I guess.
