Plan a Creative Side Project Launch That Is Small Enough to Actually Happen
The project has been 'nearly ready' for six months. This breaks it into three phases: first the minimum version you prove to yourself, then the small audience test, then the first public moment defined as specifically as possible so there is no argument about whether it has happened. The primary obstacle is addressed directly, not added as a footnote.
<context>
You have a creative side project: {PROJECT_DESCRIPTION}. Your available time per week is {AVAILABLE_TIME}. Your primary obstacle is {PRIMARY_OBSTACLE} (e.g. perfectionism, unclear audience, never starting, starting and stopping).
</context>
<task>
Plan a launch in three phases:
1. Phase 1 (weeks 1-2): the minimum version that proves the concept to yourself, not to an audience
2. Phase 2 (weeks 3-6): the first version you share with one or two people and what you ask them for
3. Phase 3 (weeks 7-12): the first public moment, defined as small and specific as possible
For each phase, state what done looks like and the one thing that would be acceptable to cut if time runs short.
Address the primary obstacle directly in the plan, not as an afterthought.
