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.

Dreaming big is wonderful! The space race once started as a big dream!

And then a lot of research, planning, testing, people, money, and time and energy to get there. You just have to figure out what you need to get started. I'm a writer, and when I'm working on an idea, it helps me to work backwards when I'm planning things. Figure out how I want to divide it up, what the key parts of it are, what kind of emotions I want it to evoke, what I want the focus of it to be, research into a subject that might help me, and a bunch of other things.

@[email protected] has a lot of great points to start with in what you want to do. Taking those and starting to brainstorm what might be important, and then expanding on each of those things as you learn more and start to figure things out, is a great way to start figuring out how to get from your dream and gives you a scaffolding so that when you start doing things, you'll have a solid foundation to work from and it won't seem so overwhelming!
