My advise is rather simple: start consulting startup candidates based on your extensive experience.
You are basically helping them avoid the hurdles you came across through your 11+ years of professional experience and you are pretty much giving them a number of steps ahead of other startups that have to go through trial and error until they make it, if they are lucky that is.
Try to write down the standard, cliched if you will, steps a startup needs to go through until they become functional and autonomous from a technological point of view.
I'm sure through this consulting experience you will be narrowing down countless of unique niche projects that could be offered as SaaS or even PaaS by you that could boost a startup's momentum AND help you make good money while doing two things you seem to love the most.
Now, as far as concern analysis paralysis, you can solve this by doing simple, standard writing; school-like if you will.
Dedicate a notebook, the good ol' pen and paper thing (lol), and write down each idea of yours by separating its pros and cons.
Concentrate on each project separately without letting your thoughts or worries intervene and narrow down each project's unique features until you feel pleased by what you have written up until the very end of it.
If you can, apply the logic of Normalization Form until you exhaust all potential commonalities each step has with its previous ancestor.
Doing so can reveal so many things to you, even help you extract common factors from each project separately and combine them to produce yet another project or idea that could lead to something interesting, let alone profitable if it gets the right attention and response from users.
I cannot think of anything else right now, but if you want to keep in touch to philosophize it a bit further, feel free to contact me via my email which is included in my profile.
Take your time to rest your busy mind and let me tell you something you need to hear: you got this mate, don't worry about it.
The less you worry, the less you pay attention to your mental noise, the clearer everything will become around you.
Keep it up mate!
Cheers.
