Do you later execute any of them? I feel I need the optimism that I only have when I do not see the details clearly yet to start something.

  I'm just getting out of school (last round of finals coming up) and I've got several ideas bouncing around. I've also taken to putting them down in diary/journal (originally just started as aimlessly sticking hundreds of post it notes around my room). The one thing I've taken away from it is that design is work - and magically - when I sit down and work on the design and get more specific the better the design gets. It's a motivating feeling for me as I gain momentum. If it's written down I don't feel like I'm throwing a baby away every time I consider a different approach or project because it's already written/drawn and I can go back at any time, and usually when I go back I can take what is newly considered and recognize some commonality between them that leads to yet another new approach that is simpler and covers the value proposition of both approaches. All of this is objectively better than having the images and ideas flash into my head - because that doesn't stop. It gives me the freedom to iterate with new ideas rather than the same model 0 over and over again. But again this process is all new to me. We'll see if anything comes out of it.

  Yes. The last one I executed on was to do in depth fundamental analysis on all the ASX listed biotech/pharma companies (there are about 70 of them). Out of this process I found one very undervalued company that I took a large strategic investment in and joined the board to help turn it around. This has turned into a very good investment, although it has taken up a lot of my time.

    Nice. What works for someone might not work for someone we can see again!
