Think about the Wright Brothers. They didn't try to build a huge airplane like a 747. Their goal wasn't a commercial airline. It was simpler and bolder: to fly in a controlled way, even if only for a few seconds. Their first flight on December 17, 1903, lasted only 12 seconds and went 120 feet. That's shorter than the wings of a modern jet. But it proved their idea worked. It was the perfect simple starting point. (2/4)
Forget about the finished, giant project. Instead, ask yourself: What's the smallest, most basic version of this project that would still show your main idea works or provide even a tiny bit of value? Your own "12-second flight" could be sketching out the basic steps for users on a napkin, writing the first two main points of a summary, or just sending one email to an important person to check an idea. Take that tiny first step in the next 5 minutes. (3/4)
Don't try to do everything at once. Just get started.
