Every week, I come up with 5 possible blog post ideas.

Then, I assign a date to write a post on that idea.

Most of the time, I come up with a different idea instead of writing the scheduled one.

And so, my list gets bigger.

This happens 70% to 80% of the time.

Currently, I have 238 possible blog post ideas that I could write about.

But I’m writing this post, instead.

It’s not on the schedule.

For some odd reason, I don’t feel like writing about today’s scheduled idea.

Many ideas seem intriguing when I get them, but they lose their allure by the time I have to write them out.

Why is that?

Some ideas have time restrictions.

I had some ideas while I was in some past shows, and it would seem weird to write about them now.

They missed their window.

But most of the ideas don’t have that problem.

I’ve lost the spark to write them.

It might come back.

Maybe I should start pruning the list.

Accept the fact that many of those ideas are not going to get addressed.

Banish them to the Island of Abandoned Ideas.

Some ideas are more than a year old. And I still haven’t written about them.

But part of me doesn’t want to let them go.

Maybe if I release them, some one else can write about them?

Or maybe they were only whimsical fancies, never intended to be explored further.
