If you’re anything like me, your brain is a popcorn machine. 🍿 One idea pops up, and before you can savor it, pop—another one’s flying in. Then another. And another. Before you know it, you’ve got so many good ideas bouncing around that you can’t figure out which one to chase first.

It’s exciting… but also overwhelming…

Step 1: Get Them Out of Your Head
Ideas are slippery. If you don’t capture them, they vanish faster than your phone battery on a road trip. Use a notebook, app, voice memo—whatever works for you. The goal isn’t to organize yet, just to unload.

Step 2: Sort into Categories
Once you have them written down, group them into buckets: “Quick Wins,” “Big Projects,” “Someday/Maybe.” This helps you see patterns and figure out what’s urgent, what’s exciting, and what might need to simmer for later.

Step 3: Prioritize with Purpose
Not all good ideas are good right now. Ask yourself:

• Which idea will have the biggest positive impact right now?
• Which one excites me the most?
• Which is most feasible with my current time, energy, and resources?

Step 4: Give Yourself Permission to Park Ideas
You’re not abandoning them—you’re giving them time to grow roots. Some of my best ideas came to life months or even years after I first thought of them.

You don’t have to do it all at once. Pick one to focus on now, give it your best, and trust that the rest will wait their turn.
