What is the longest running obstacle in your life?

I think the longest running obstacle in my life has to do with a creative project I’ve been working on here and there in short sprints over the years since 2013, which is the earliest documented iteration of this thing that has remained in my heart all these years, and yet I never quite pulled the plug on it to develop it further than a book outline.

With the advent of AI going mainstream, going through so many years of written content, both published and never published, seemed way less daunting. So I use ChatGPT to go through all of my iterations to consolidate a lot of my ideas into one document and from there, I applied a visual offer framework I learned about a couple years ago to create my offer, and I flushed out my outline, and I created a landing page too, which is the furthest I’ve ever gotten with this project.

I feel frozen at this point because there’s so many directions I can go and I’m not sure which one is going to be most worth my time.

Everyone seems to have an opinion about my next step, then I get overwhelmed, and then I completely shut down, which is generally the cycle that’s been going on this entire time; I’ll make some serious headway and then I get overwhelmed with possibility and the sprint is over until I get another burst of inspiration to revisit the project and keep moving it forward.
