A few weeks ago, on holiday, at 2am... I was having a full conversation with Claude about whether I should start posting on Instagram again.
Yes. 2am. on holiday. with my kids in the next room.
(Claude was very patient with me. I was not very rational.)
the thing is, I had this creative impulse, I have things to say, people would relate to this, maybe I should just...
Share, and within four minutes my brain had turned it into a full content strategy with a calendar and a platform decision and honestly it exhausted me before I'd posted a single thing.
The impulse died before it even started.
and then last week? Substack nearly happened. ๐ซ
I caught myself faster this time though. which felt like progress.
I wrote about all of this in today's newsletter including the three questions I now ask myself before I let a new idea take over my brain at an unreasonable hour.
But I want to know about you...
when a new idea lands, what does your brain do first?
And if you've got a specific situation you're navigating right now, a idea you can't shake, a decision you keep going back and forth on, something that's been sitting on your mental to-do list for way too long, drop it in the comments.
A โ gets immediately excited and starts planning everything at once
B โ talks itself out of it before it's even fully formed
C โ sits with it for a while before deciding (teach me your ways)
D โ opens 47 tabs and calls it research
