I am prone to have zillions of ideas. Some are good, some are terrible. They all seem amazing the first time, but after a while they lose the shine and I leave them incomplete.
So, the first test for me is to write down everything I come up with. Then leave it and revise it again after a week/month. If it still sounds amazing, then I pay some more attention to it.
- helen842000 15y agoI think a good test is to see if you keep thinking back to the idea without having to be reminded. If it appears in conversation or the problem you are fixing is mentioned frequently - it's probably an idea that will have impact!
- arien 15y agoYep, that is another good sign. For the record, some ideas I thought a couple of years ago keep coming back from time to time. Sometimes it's just not the right moment or you're not on the right mindset, even if the idea is good. What I mean is, what matters after all is the execution, not the idea itself, but to do it properly there needs to be a planet alignment of sorts (the right person, in the right moment at the right time).
