One of my 80/20 rules on ideas 
Is that I struggle less with generating 
Than I do executing them.

Generally ideas rush in, pick up speed and momentum.
I get excited about where it fits, what it answers or how it links to something else.

But without fail… resistance.
Sometimes it’s logistical.
Time and energy vanish, barriers pop up at work or home.
Things take second fiddle in the orchestra of life. 

Sometimes it’s my own internal struggles, doubts, or as Mitch Hedberg says “convincing myself that what I thought of, ain’t funny” (or in this case, useful)
Even as I’m writing this, my brain is grilling me on “where are you going with this?  What are you saying?
There’s no way this is interesting to other people…”
[And here I thought we were friends.]

So I’ve had to learn to acknowledge resistance,
And eventually accept it.
But accepting it means I also have to recognize the patterns;
Times of day,
Days of the week,
How much sleep I got,
What I ate,
The pollen count
[I’m just saying it’s a serious list].

But as I’ve documented what stops my momentum
I’m better able to work around them.
And before the hill gets too steep,  I don’t lose so many of those ideas.
