You keep saying you want a side project: a newsletter, a small business, an app, a channel. The idea feels exciting in your head and heavy in your body. So you wait for “when things calm down”.
Two fears are fighting each other. Fear of regret if you never try. Fear of feeling stupid if you do and it flops. As long as the project lives only in your imagination, it can still be perfect. The moment you start, it becomes real and fragile. You can fail, be ignored, or prove you’re not as talented as you hoped.
So you protect your ego by “preparing” forever: more ideas, more tools, more research. It feels like progress. It’s mostly hiding.
A tiny rule:
Your side project must have one visible action every week that leaves a mark in the world: one post, one email, one cold outreach, one tiny feature live.
If it never has to touch reality,
it will stay a fantasy that quietly drains your energy.
