Sorry for the continuation of the topic guys, but "start from something simple" is in my mind never a good advice. When you work on what you don't "click" with, you lack enough passion to get thru the process, and in the result you'll have that exact feeling of time wasted. Meanwhile, you can always scrap and start from scratch what you are really into.
Besides that, theres nothing particularily constructive in "start from something simple".
