Ya know, I disagree with this advice. Give it a couple of hours tops. If you don't enjoy the process after a couple of hours and the goal is a whole day away, you won't get there.

Give it three minutes tops. If you cant focus it doesn’t matter that you might enjoy it.

/sarcasm :)

Whether to give it a month or three years depends on the ambition of the goal and the things learned in the process.
