JUST ENOUGHTiny, free courses.

An extremely small curriculum

How to Have an Idea
Without Starting
a Company.

A free 24-hour course for people who accidentally turn curiosity into infrastructure.

About two minutes of reading.
The rest is mostly leaving it alone.

Have an idea

No account. No email. Nothing to launch.

Lesson 01 / 06

Have an idea.

Have one.

Notice the immediate desire to name it.

Do not do anything about that yet.

I have one

Lesson 02 / 06

Do not buy
the domain.

We are advancing quickly.

Still available. That's fine.

Lesson 03 / 06

Do not make
a roadmap.

You do not need phases.

Nobody needs a GitHub repository.

Proceed without a strategy

Lesson 04 / 06

Play with it.

  • Draw it.
  • Write the stupid version.
  • Tell somebody.
  • Make a playlist.

Spend twenty minutes with the idea without improving its commercial viability.

That was something

Lesson 05 / 06

Go do
something else.

This is the difficult module.

Leave it here

Class dismissed. Until tomorrow.

The course continues
without this tab.

Go have the rest of your day.

Tomorrow, come back and see what stayed interesting.

Bookmark tomorrow’s lesson if you want a way back. No reminder is coming. Refreshing doesn’t erase anything you learned.

I'm back

There is no timer enforcing this. You’re allowed to be in charge.

Lesson 06 / 06 · Tomorrow

Still interesting?

Yes: great. Now you know something.

No: also great. You had an idea. Nothing died.

An idea does not have to justify its existence by becoming an outcome.

Take the final exam

Final exam · Open universe

Have another idea.

Do nothing with it.

That's enough
