What’s the biggest goal on your to-do list? Is it a cross-country move to your dream city? Opening a business? Purchasing your own home?⠀
⠀
Now, consider: Why haven’t you checked it off your list yet?⠀
⠀
As Jessica Abel, a cartoonist and author, explains, it’s because it’s become part of your Idea Debt. And as we all know, debt can be hard to pay off.⠀
⠀
"Idea Debt is when you spend too much time picturing what a project is going to be like, too much time thinking about how awesome it will be to have this thing done and in the world, too much time imagining how cool you will look, how in demand you’ll be, how much money you’ll make. And way too little time actually making the thing."⠀
⠀
When you desire something—like traveling the world or buying your first car—the best course of action is always to just do it. Avoiding Idea Debt is about acting before you think too much and get overwhelmed by how hard, and how important your project feels.⠀
⠀
Ask yourself: Are the ideas taking up space in your head the ideas of today, or an earlier you? Do they still excite you? Will they help you become the person you want to be, or are they just sitting there because you’ve never cleaned them out? Allowing yourself to move on frees you from that Idea Debt so you can take on new initiatives and goals.⠀
⠀
So that’s the choice: Do it now, or let it go and make room for new ideas. Don’t let your Idea Debt keep compounding.⠀
