Cut scope to a real first version and get it in front of people.
90-day plan · Free · No login required
Stalled projects share a pattern: energy at the start, scope that quietly balloons, a hard unglamorous middle, and a shinier idea arriving right on cue. It's not a discipline failure — it's a structure failure.
This plan rebuilds the structure: cut scope to something that can actually reach done, install a shipping rhythm that carries you through the middle, and finally get a finished thing out into the world with your name on it.
The 90-day goal
A shipped v1 teaches you more than a perfect plan ever will.
How you'll know it's working
Cut the scope to a defined, written v1
Built the core of v1 and it runs end to end
Shipped v1 to first real users
The daily engine
Daily ship session
After my morning coffee, I will spend 45 minutes moving the project forward.
End-of-day next step
Before I stop working, I will write down the single next action.
Start here
Define the smallest v1
Strip the idea to the one thing it must do, and cut the rest.
Block daily build time
Protect a recurring 45-minute slot purely for shipping.
Set a public ship date
Tell someone when it launches so the deadline is real.
For when it gets hard
Decide your response now, so motivation running out doesn't end the plan.
If I want to keep polishing, then I ask 'is this good enough to ship?' and if yes, I ship.
If the day job eats my time, then I protect one 45-minute block before work.
If the scope feels huge, then I cut one feature instead of adding one.

Each pairs craft with a second area, because what feels stuck rarely sits in one corner of life.
Break the start-then-abandon cycle for good.
You begin with fire and stall at 60%. This plan attacks the real culprits — scope that balloons and learning that never lands — with a shipping rhythm that turns half-finished ideas into things you've actually put into the world.
Reclaim deep focus and finally ship the thing.
For the perpetually distracted maker — you can't hold attention long enough to do your best work, and the project keeps stalling. Rebuild real focus and pair it with a shipping rhythm that turns effort into finished work.
