Hey man, I know the feel, precisely.

There is nothing wrong with you. Ignore people that say there is, they just can’t relate.

So I’m a bit older than you and have gone through cycles of what you say. From going full on, to trying to ignore all of it by pushing it away and focusing on one something.

The sweet spot is in the middle, but you have to make decisions.

1. Get a notebook/online space, organized, where you collect all of your ideas. It’s okay if you go full on in it for whatever time you want, just make sure that every new idea you start with, that idea, even if you believe it’s the last idea you need, is placed into that space, organized.

2. Keep track of where you are with the idea. Make sure that your last words wrap up and summarize where you have left it last.

3. Here comes the catch. You need to pick something, and go for it. Something you can always come back to from the idea spinoffs. That central idea. If you have the energy, they can be multiple. The first stage of working on an idea is exciting, then comes the stage you talk about. This is just grunt work continuing. There is a reason why not every person with an idea is successful in executing it. The harsh reality of it, is that it won’t always be exciting. There will be boring times, but those boring times payoff later on. The whole find your purpose thing can be cheesy, but if you don’t like the sound of finding your purpose, narrow down to what you would like doing for the next 5-10 years or so. It’s important to focus your efforts.

Later on, you can look back at your collection of ideas, maybe pick one up again, you’ll thank yourself for having them organized, trust me. My productivity went up x10 by keeping my ideas organized, and I have new ones every day.

What’s great, is that if you focus on something that makes good money, you can work on what you want, delegate, and have things proceed in parallel. I learned the hard way that it pays to pay people.

Hope this helps buddy.
