The insurance of too many ideas.
(continued… page 2 of 2)
Page 1 2
I almost always have too many ideas—some of which will almost certainly not be developed… won't and don't get beyond 'good idea, but currently too busy or no longer fits'.
And 'do 'em all' has never been my intent. I accept there'll be 'natural wastage'… that I'll get an idea, on which I do some initial work, then for various reasons—purely personal, or market-related—change my mind and decide to not proceed further.
So, although each 'possible/perhaps' current project has sensible commercial potential, and they all could be done—commenced progressively over a rolling three-to-five year period, and with extensive outsourcing to reduce my workload (to an entirely manageable level in a coordinating role)—it's extremely likely they won't be.
Additionally… the origin of several has been as an alternative to a particular (and favoured) relatively large project, which several years ago I 'parked' because (due to health issues) I lacked (and might never regain) the ability to do it appropriately.
And, because of those health issues… I'd since considered either 'easing back into things' with something smaller and simpler, or perhaps permanently confining myself to several/multiple such projects.
Since then, as I favour a return to a variant of the aforementioned major project, it's increasingly the case that some ideas are becoming 'things I could have done' rather than 'things I can/could do'.
I don't need the money, and with my less-than-ideal health and relatively old age firmly in mind, I want to better use the time I have left.
So yes, I know full-well there's too many of 'em for me to do—and some I won't get to, either because I've died or changed my mind about doing them.
So it's a 'maybe, baby…' situation: they provide 'insurance', options to choose what I do and respond accordingly to market and other considerations.

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.
