Dear anxious one, Whew, this is tough. So much productivity bubbling up from inside you. How can things have stopped? How did you run out of tasks? There was so much to do and then… Let me take you back in time for a moment. You’re restless (just like you are now), you want to be doing something worthwhile, so you come up with an idea. You soend the next 2 days working tirelessly on this new project. Your original project has now opened up, so you drop the project. Wait a second, you learned a lot in those two days. You developed new skills, you made a thing! Because the main business is unstuck, there is no need to press on with the unvalidated side project. Fast forward a few days, maybe a week. Remember those skills you learned last weekend, you’re now going to need that. A feature, blog post, video, or some other type of task now requires you to know what you happened to learn. How convenient. This is how it goes every time. Business is stuck, start a new thing, business gets unstuck, works more on business, uses skill from being stuck to continue forward. There’s a cycle, do you see it? It happens regularly. So, here you are, feeling stuck, feeling restless. You, sir, have two options. Pick one, pick both, whatever suits your fancy. You can: 1. Rest. Take a moment to breath. Sleep. Go for a walk. Play a rigerous sport. Go for a drive. Do whatever you need to do to get your mind to stop moving. Or, do the exact opposite: 2. Start something new. Go through your lengthy list of ideas and pick one to try to validate. You have a couple days, no money, and the power of the entire internet in your hamds. Go. Or, do both (though not at the same time).

I’ll leave you with this,
