I Already Did the Math

I went back to the spreadsheet last night.

Not because of the phone note. That’s what I told myself while opening it, the way you tell yourself you’re just going to look at the menu, not order anything. But I know why I opened it. Yesterday I found the one idea on that list that didn’t make me cringe, and the next thing my brain does, apparently without my permission, is start running numbers.

What Nine Ideas Look Like in Daylight

I opened the note.

The one on my phone. The one I mentioned yesterday, the one with nine business ideas I typed over the course of about eight months, mostly late at night, mostly with one thumb, mostly while I should have been doing something else.

I’ve been carrying it around the way you carry around a voicemail you haven’t listened to. You know it’s there. You know you should deal with it. But as long as you haven’t opened it, everything on it is still possible. Schrödinger’s career pivot. The moment I actually read the list, some of those ideas would stop being maybe and start being no. I wasn’t ready for that.

Why I'm Finally Starting This

The tab has been open in my brain for about a year and a half.

Not an actual browser tab. A mental tab. The kind that takes up space without loading. I would catch myself thinking about it on commutes, while making dinner, while half-listening to a status call I did not need to be on. I should write something. I should start something. I should figure out what comes next.
