 I have a problem that when I get excited about an idea, I HAVE to talk about it. It’s the worst 🤣

I should take this advice way more often.

 Talk to yourself and do it.

Don't tell the world.

 When i have an idea that I know is just too big or that I'll never get to, I always just share it out to the world. My hope is that somebody will be excited enough to get it done and I'll have done my part in helping to start the spark. Then i just focus on those things that I can and need to take to their finish line and i can let go of the 100 other ideas that I come up with along the way.

 Talking seems to block the idea from coming into the real world.

 Yeah I've noticed that, it pulls some of the motivation out of it, or at least has in the past. I'm happy to report that as time passes this is less of an issue.
