Just showing up everyday to work on a side project on top of a day job and your other life commitments is no small feat, and personally that kind of consistency and perseverance is not something I find easy to do.

On the other hand, procrastinating from a task by overly planning and reading/thinking about the best way to get it done, now that is much more natural

Seriously though, this is a hard thing to keep up, so congrats to them. Most people fail to even consistently show up each day to brush their teeth.
