Ones that kind of sit back there and you which you might not act on right away. Then, finally you get around to doing them because you figure that it was a good idea way-back-when, and it still sounds good now, so you might as well try it.

You hit on what I was trying to say in the post too. Execution is key, the execution is what makes a good idea become great. It’s rarely the idea itself that is actually “great”.

Like you focusing on a few and writing things down the new ideas that has helped a little – I signed up for 37signals Tadalist and make a list for each project that I think of starting. From there I usually put down a few “next steps” to trying to get things going. Just the act of knowing I’m not going to lose my latest thought helps me keep focused on the current “pet project” I’ve been doing.

Another realization I get as my programming skills get a little better is that the real meat of anything is the execution. Ideas are good, but so often I see software that isn’t very complex but executed so well that it is successful. Well, the one catch is that things that are designed well *look* simple. But to me that sort of sits betwen the idea and the implementation in the stage of execution.

So do you ever have those ideas that just nag and bother you until you make them happen?

Prioritising your ideas is essential to enable execution and completion of your priority project.

I say, just do it. Go on DO IT, take that step, open MS Project and begin the plan. DOIT!
