I tend to dream big alot and i tend to want thing sinstantly with this age of tech and it can be annoying at times. i even reaserch thing sbut never do them i wonder if ther eis a way to dream small and what might that look like?

like i want to start a youtube channel with my low-end pc and my fmaily says it dosent hurt to try but im not sure, i want to do gaming but everyone does gaming and im very limited with my pc, etc i could go on but i wont.

my interst will probrably change to something tommorow which is annoying.

You kind of sound like me honestly. My recommendation is to feel free to dream, but be mindful where the ground is. What I mean by that is, just because you have what you feel like is the new app idea, don’t quit your job and spend your life savings immediately to pursue it. Take small, metered steps towards a lofty goal, and remind yourself that it’s always ok to bail on an idea if you’ve lost faith or interest on it.

I will also say that most personal projects I started out of passion began to fizzle out before they were finished. If you really want to achieve a grand vision, sometimes it will take doing things you don’t want to do.

Good luck
