This is part of a planned series of posts about dead or frozen projects - ideas I’ve had that I’ve decided not to follow up on.

I’ll be writing these up for a variety of reasons:

To encourage others to share their own ideas.
To get feedback on whether I should have tried to do more with the idea, was there an angle or benefit that I missed?
To demonstrate how many ideas I have, and to help determine whether the number of ideas I have is unusual.
So others can highlight to me whether someone has tried the idea already, and whether it succeeded or not.

Also sharing these kind of “dead projects” has been an idea that’s been rattling around my brain for some time, but I’ve finally been inspired to start writing them up after attending one of Stefan Hagar’s Valhalla For Ideas sessions. Valhalla for Ideas is a structured way of working through old plans that we’re hanging onto, to either let them go, or to breathe new life into them. You can read more about Stefan’s services here, and we may be working together on some of them in future.
