Give Ideas Time to Incubate

A side-effect of committing to one project is that you end up putting off all the rest. By the time you finally start a project, you’ve been thinking about it for a while.

This extra incubation time has two virtues:

  • It filters out bad ideas. Since you only pursue the ideas that have stuck with you during your commitment to other projects, you end up pursuing projects you care about deeply.
  • Extra time results in better plans. As you ponder a potential project, you turn over the possible difficulties in your mind.
