Conceive #2.
(3 minute read.)
The insurance of too many ideas.

'What… you serious?'
'Over-conceive/create is an entirely natural, and to be expected, element of 'creative process'…
A music album will almost certainly have many tracks which were recorded but didn't make the final record.
And with books and movies… there'll likely be copious amounts of stuff written or filmed which was subsequently discarded.
It's the way things work.
Things get paused, parked, scrapped… at an initial or advanced stage of development… perhaps to be revisited at a later date, or forever abandoned.
I've met others similarly-minded…
Seen notebooks stuffed full of scribbled ideas and jottings; hard drives too; single page websites with a 'coming soon, under construction' message. Stuff worked into rough shape.
So yes… having ideas for stuff you'll almost certainly never do is to be expected and accepted.
I still remain a little uneasy with 'try lots of things', though; my less adventurous upbringing and relatively low self-confidence suggest it's capricious and wrong.
Often, 'ideas' are non-original, simply(?) an improved variant of something already being done…
There's lot of good ideas being done badly (yet sometimes successfully), and for which the social engagement/site traffic stats shows there's a proven market and excellent potential for appropriate variants thereof.
Many of mine aren't original, and are often hybrids—where, for a project, I've perhaps combined things from different activities and sectors.
The value is largely in presenting various differing points of entry to the core of what I mainly do—provide business-oriented information, and advice & support—and shift it from a one-on-one activity into a one-for-many thing in which I don't need to be personally present.
With them, I get the concept clear, decide a name, get a domain, write an intro & overview of the concept and development… and that's where it stays until I'm ready/able to develop it or formally discontinue my interest.
Anyway…

Conceive… Endless spectrum of possibilities?
- Conceive #1. This. And that.
- Conceive #2. The insurance of too many ideas.
- Conceive #3. Two examples—and where ideas come from.
Develop… Who, what, where, when, how, why. Etcetera.
- Zero. Very few… none, actually.
- Few. Things often don't require 'many'.
- Quixote and Panza. 'How many to design/build/change a lightbulb?'
- Dem bones. The hip-bit is connected to… something-or-other.
- Bizrunners. Do it for me?
- Cog. Run it? You're kidding… right?
- Romantic stimuli. It's in the way that you use it.
- Doin' it. Domains, social media, etcetera.
