Battling the Half-Life of Idea Execution

Upon reflection, I think my love of idea generation has become an escape hatch for when I start to second guess myself in the midst of long-term execution. When things aren’t going as well as planned with a venture, new ideas appear more attractive. And so I quickly jump to something new. As the saying goes, the grass is always greener on the other side.

Yet by not focusing on one or two ideas long enough, I’ve spread myself too thin over too many – thus reducing my chances of success. These mistakes have prompted a new year’s resolution: To stop generating new ideas and focus my energy on a lucky few.
