I'm 17 and want to become an entrepreneur. I want to design an app that can turn paper into an editable document (not a pdf) There are apps that can do this but i want to create a system that can be used for school. I want the files to be held in the cloud and view able on that app. I keep designing the app over and over. I'm not building the real thing. I realize that i'm stuck in the illusion of preogres. My school just got shut down for a week because of the corona virus and i have all this free time now and i don't wanna waste it chasing my tail and running in circles. I've read both of MJ's books. I read unscripted twice because i loved it. I'm going to buckle down this week and get this going. i understand that it will take a lot of time and failure but i will do whatever it takes. I'm stressed out right now. It would be very helpful if someone could share their experience about the illusion of progress. Thank you.
