Noticing a Shift in My Approach

NS

I tend to think as if I were already a company, or from the very start line up all the conditions, or think franchise first.

If I begin by drawing up the business structure, weighing resources and time,

or stringing together impressive-looking things, it becomes hard to ever start.


So — what can I do right now, on my own?



What's the same as my 20s

is that I'm still more concerned with surrounding tools and groundwork than with the essence.

What's different is that back then I could just get started.


That, I think, is exactly  why I ended up at an IT company and why I could dive in so suddenly.

And also why my approach to problems has changed all the more.



0 -> 1 -> back to 0 is what I need to find. 

I keep searching only for methods. I keep asking only what would be nice.

Let me ask first why I should even do it.




Someone around me said, 

"You have to have played to know what's fun."

Where can I go to play? What counts as play for me?

That person said they used to work at a music company.


Then they suggested trying something new to learn. 

Cooking suddenly came to mind.




And a few days later, a thought that hit me..

'Haven't I, all along, actually been playing the whole time —'
