Keep a 'Someday' Folder for Non-Urgent Ideas

Not every idea needs action today. Some ideas are exciting but untimely — and if you try to act on all of them immediately, you will spread yourself too thin. Instead, keep a simple list or folder called "Someday."

When a new idea or project pops into your head, write it down there and let it go. Revisit the list once a month. Some ideas will still excite you — those are worth pursuing. Most will not — and that is useful information too.
