Start Something

I keep thinking about it.

You become: Someone who begins

The shortest journey here, and one of the most powerful. Nine actions from a thought in your head to a thing that exists in the world.

01

Define it

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
