Lots of Good Ideas

I’m sort of par­a­lyzed right now by the number of poten­tial projects on my plate. I have a site that I promised I would build for Kellie, a site that I need to design and write for myself, and a new pro­gram­ming job I’d like to pitch to another site. Sadly, I’m not really moti­vated to do any of them.

The job for Kellie is a women’s health site that will be a nexus between social net­work­ing, health man­age­ment and med­ical resources. It’s very ambi­tions, but there’s so much to do that I don’t know where to start. Kellie wrote me about 6 dozen pages of require­ments, which is good, but it’s a bit overwhelming.

The site I want to write is another med­ical resource site based on my expe­ri­ence with Jared. I’m ready to do it, and I’m pretty sure I know what I want to say, but there are a lot of freaky people out there, and I’m not sure I’m in a place where I want to deal with what will happen if they find the site.

The last one is actu­ally a minia­ture vari­a­tion of a site I worked on last spring, but more focused and yet more gen­er­al­ized. I’d like a way for a cer­tain breed of small web­sites to be able to add a social ele­ment to their sites with­out a lot of work, but the idea I have in mind will com­bine a data­base, some PHP and a return to Flash. And that’s espe­cially overwhelming.

So I’m hoping to get myself moti­vated - do any of you have any rec­om­men­da­tions on self-​starting?
