That’s a really great way of putting it Adam! A lot of people think we’re lucky when we have too many ideas, but it can be just as damaging creatively as having no ideas at all. I hope the ideas in the post help! Good luck 🙂

Sometimes, I think of my head like a “creativity cyclotron”. Once it gets revved up to speed, the ideas come nonstop. One might think this is a desirable thing, but it’s not. I would love the clarity and focus of having even just five cool ideas to pursue. I literally could list off 10 or 20 ideas for stories, games, artwork, etc that have been floating around my head the past couple of weeks, but I dare not because once I do, ideas beget ideas, the cyclotron revs up, and then I’m lost in even MORE ideas with no hope of ever completing most of them. The demoralising effects of this alone sometimes make me shun thinking creativity so as to avoid the self-disappointment of non-completion.
