Day 20 of the #Trust30 writing project- What’s one project that you’ve been sitting on and thinking about but haven’t made progress on? What’s stopping you? What would happen if you actually went for it and did it?
I’ve had an idea for an iOS App for a good part of a year and a half now. I can’t go into detail, but it is a cooking tutorial app. There are a few stumbling blocks at the moment that I can think of and i’ll list them out here and why they are roadblocks.
-Time. With anything worth doing, it can be time consuming. Between job hunting, work and waiting on an impending baby, the timimng just isn’t right.
-Coding. I have no idea how to code such a thing. I may have the drive and the inspiration but coding is definitely not my strength. It’s been suggested that I do it in Flash and then export it, but I’m not the greatest Flash person either.
-Production. I am a one man production crew. Doing every aspect of a project can become overwhelming.
If I actually went through and did it, I would be elated and feel accomplished. Whether it made some money or not, who cares. It would be a feather in my cap that I would be proud of. So what is stopping me now? Uncertainty. As I mentioned previously, there is a baby on the way any day now. I can’t really begin to setup a studio in the kitchen with a baby on the way. Solution? Move to another house and make use of their kitchen? Not likely, but it IS an option.
The only obstacle that is truly in our ways is ourselves. How we choose to overcome that obstacle is what defines us as a person.
