dear sol,
i know exactly what you are talking about. i fill notebook after notebook
with things (but often it is just one sentence or one word a page). and
wonder when i will be able to realise some of these projects...
on the other hand i find it useful to give my ideas some time (only some
time later i can see if some are worth it or not).
writing down ideas is good to free your mind. you have to ged rid of the
idea (by writing it down) so your mid is free for the next one. if i keep
too many ideas in my head there is no space for new ones.
i also like to give some ideas away (to friends who can appreciate them)
just to make room for new ones.
on the other hand i know how frustrating it is when you have so much work
that you rarely have time to read or time to execute any ideas.
sorry, i haven't found any conclusion how to handle this problem - at the
moment i'm quite happy with keeping notes and develop things in my head.
all the best
gabriel
