Ask HN: How do I commit to an startup/idea?
3 by valachio | 5 comments on Hacker News.
I'm finding great difficulty in finding a purpose and committing to it. In April 2019, I stopped working full time on my previous project which was a success and makes me decent money to this day. Since then I have worked on more than 10 ideas, mostly in software but not always. For one project, I worked full time on it for 3 months, only to eventually get burnt out and abandon. It's been 1.5 years since I have been in this phase. Life is becoming quite bad. I'm tired of finding a new idea, getting super excited about it for a few weeks/months, only to see its flaws and give up on it. I'm progressing into a deadly mindset where I feel like that even if I come across a great idea, I probably will prematurely give up on it. Nowadays all I want is to binge play video games to numb my feelings so I stop feeling bad all the time. How do I commit to an idea? How do I stop abandoning the projects I start? I can't stop myself from seeing the flaws with an idea and giving up on it, wasting time and demotivating me even further.
