Ideas go to paper (most often), or Markdown in my random projects, way before I decide to 'decide to make them'. Mostly so I don't have to keep things in my head and worry about them. Then maybe I'll flesh it out, both big picture and any details that come to mind immediately. If I find it interesting enough, and I decide to do it, I focus my idea-generation finding the minimum core of the idea, as a milestone with steps or pieces required to get there. Basic rule is that it must take less than 1 day to get there (or know that you can't get there). Then I code/fabricate it, then iterate along same lines, each time allowing more time for next milestone, until I'm done with it. The process explicitly focuses on keeping problems small, so they are fun to execute - and not worrying about 'final' outcomes.
