Thinking deep before starting a new project

I have a propensity to come up with new project ideas, get really excited about them – and never make them reality. That is why I have taken on a new habit: Whenever I have an idea and start getting excited, I first have to fill out my project template.

It consists of a few questions that ask about my motivation, expectations and planned time that I want to (and can) 
spend on the project:

- Why do I want to do this? What sparked my interest?
- What are my expectations about upsides and downsides of the project?
- What should not happen at all if I happen to pick up the project? What would let me stop it instantly?
- How much time can I really attribute to this project (taking into account my other obligations and hobbies)
- When and how can I reevaluate whether my expectations are being met?

More often than not, after filling out the template, I will come to the conclusion that my excitement is just a temporary and that the downsides outweigh the expected upsides. As soon as I have my thoughts on paper, I can let go of the idea on my mind.
