How much geography do you need to make before you start populating and creating history for your world

I've been creating a fictional world just for fun and I've drawn my first map for the continent where the story takes place and I'm not really sure where to go from here. I know I've only just begun but starting to create the world's geography first is beginning to feel a little arbitrary. Is there a cut off point for when you're done and geography wise and when you should start creating the people and history for your world?<br><br>Stuff I've done so far:<br><br>- drawn a world map<br><br>- decided on a very simple climate system<br><br>- drawn a continent map<br><br>- created a basic sea/ocean and landmass<br><br>- defined the continents major features (rivers, mountains, forests etc) <br><br>- defined the continents major regions and defined broadly what the climate is in each region.<br><br>Stuff I'm doing next:<br><br>- Draw a country map and define the countries regions and climate<br><br>I've done this all before I've started on the inhabitants of the world and I'm starting to feel like I'm going to burn out before I ever actually start creating lore and and story for my world, this is my first attempt at creating a world for story telling purposes and I'm not really sure how to proceed at this point. How do you start creating the history and lore for your world?<br><br>TLDR: I feel like I'm wasting my time doing too much geography before I start creating the actual world
