Too much thinking and not enough making.

I have idea debt. I have lists and lists of ideas that never get anywhere, because I never work on them.
I get paralyzed thinking how I want to build an app or researching for weeks on how to collect data for an app. Then I fall in love with a new idea. How I’ll make it to this great app and roll in money, until the next idea comes along.

For the past month, I just do it. I just pick a framework and start building. Just one idea, 30 minutes a day. It’s been working very well. If a new idea pops up, I just put it in a Todoist list and forget about it.

Idea Debt is when you spend too much time picturing what a project is going to be like, too much time thinking about how awesome it will be to have this thing done and in the world, too much time imagining how cool you will look, how in demand you’ll be, how much money you’ll make. And way too little time actually making the thing.
