I suffer from idea overload almost every single day. And it's not just that I have ideas for things when I cannot carry them out -- it's more that I simply have too many ideas and desires to carry out in the time I have here on earth.
So, what do I do?
For some things like blog post ideas, I have a note in evernote that I add to. Sometimes ideas in there die, and I delete them -- or I carry them out, and I delete them :-)
For other things like bigger projects or ideas... Well, I've accepted that I just have to let most of them go. I can't do everything.
Another thing I do is post what I consider to be half-baked blog posts. If I have an idea about something but no time to dig into it, I'll do a quick and dirty blog post about it. Either I'll come back to it one day, or somebody will pick it up, but at least like that it's not completely lost.
