Was on the way home the other day. Picked up an IFR popup about 20 miles out. Asked for the visual approach and broke out into VFR conditions. I reported breaking out and said I can proceed visually. At that time I was given a 'proceed direct to K___'. So I turned, and began my descent. A good 30seconds later, I realized I just busted my altitude restriction even though I had the field in site. Just then I got a low altitude notice from ATC and I cancelled IFR.
I know better, but my decision at the time made sense in my head. Just wanted to make this known for others in a similar situation. Just bums me out knowing that I should have flown better. UGH. Next time.
