I'm The Master of Pivots

I don't even know where to start, but i will come clean, i am the master of pivots.

so i just posted a post about starting a food app that would help office works and professionals transition to a better diet and live a healthier diet in a sedentary world that we live in now-a-days.

I still have not even created a design or mockup for this and i already have an idea for something else.

Now i want to build a personal dashboard that could act as your homepage and would plug you into all the things in your life. for example it would have your finances you food your relationships people you have to call/meet you business ideas. it would be kinda like your home base where you come and see everything in your life from a birds eye view to stay focus and on track.

I've honestly have been spinning my wheels on where to start and what ideas to start and then questioning myself is this an idea that i even want to pursue because that would be a lot of time and energy and what if it doesn't work lol

well what i'm trying to say is where do you start sometimes i feel like a shoot for the moon when it comes to ideas and then i don't even know where to start and then i'm like dude you suck you can't even start and finish it.

I really need some help.

I really want to freedom that hacking my own side projects and bootstrapping them to profit brings i just don't have any idea where to start and how to start.

in the mean time i think i'm just going to start.

    Hey I can definitely relate! I'm actually working on a project "nostalgia" in which we are making this personal overview of all your activity: browser history, location, photos, payments, what you're listening to, in fact simply all personal data is in it (35 sources).

    It's funny that it's very near to what you're describing so would definitely like to hear your thoughts :) here's the website...

    Speak to people, understand the problem (s) you are getting to solve. Pitch your ideas. Do informal interviews. Then decide based on the feedback you're getting.

    Also, don't fall in love with a solution, fall in love with a problem.
