I have a notebook with a million ideas too, but over time I realized that the key to productivity isn't coming up with brand new, innovative ideas for the masses, but to laser focus your creative thinking on the project at hand.

With each brand new idea, you have to start at square one. If you stay focused on a single project, then you begin to come up with tasks to do that will actually make your project go forward, rather than whole new business models that require a shit ton of work to accomplish. When you start innovating on what you're already doing, then that's where the magic happens.

I guess this applies to those heavy thinkers (i'm on of them)... you eventually get stuck in an idea overload, and never getting shit done. Stop that and FUCKING FOCUS! Too much thinking is just another name for procrastination!
