Understand
What the smallest real version actually is.
Practice
Shipping something before it's ready.
Create
A first ugly version, public.
Evidence
A link, a file, or an object you can point at.
Define it
Shrink the idea until it fits in a week.
- Create5m
Name it out loud
Give the thing a name — a working title is fine. Unnamed projects stay ideas forever because there's nothing to refer to. Write the name at the top of a new page or file.
You’ll have:A named file, doc, or repo.
- Understand15m
Define the smallest real version
Write down the version you could finish in one week if everything went wrong. Not the demo version — the real but tiny one. One page instead of a book. One recipe instead of a restaurant. One page site instead of a platform.
You’ll have:A one-paragraph definition of v0.1.
- Practice30m
Gather what you need — and only that
List everything v0.1 genuinely requires. Cross off anything you're adding because it feels professional. Then get the remaining items today. Preparation is the most comfortable place to hide.
You’ll have:A short list, fully acquired.
