Resolve #2 by thinking about your desired daily lifestyle (as opposed to the work or ideas). Comparing grand visions is impossible, so how would you be happiest spending tomorrow? Regarding #1: I was pretty burned out after working on my startups for about 5 years. It paid the bills for those years, but I wasn't ready to commit to anything full-time again and I was still sore from the feeling of letting down all my co-workers & investors. So I spent about half my time doing freelance work and the other half dicking around on whatever took my fancy. For the first few months, that was going to parks, boozing, trying out new cafes. Gradually I found myself naturally interested in programming projects again, and then I realized I was slacking off on my freelance gigs to pursue one particular idea. I was staying up late with the joy of coding again. Anyway, now that idea has turned into a fulltime startup again and I couldn't be more excited. It was allowed to grow very naturally and I avoided the mistakes of rushing into something. Anyway, infinite runway from contract work is a beautiful thing for letting the "right" idea find you, as long as you keep about half your time open for whatever.
