A question for the solo builders here. I keep a running list of ideas, and the hard part is not picking the good ones, it is admitting the rest can wait for another season. How do you decide what not to build, and does anyone actually stick to it?
One rule that works for me with research ideas: I write the headline first, then run two web searches on it before any real work. If someone already published the number, the idea is dropped. Of my last eight ideas, six stopped there. Sticking to it is the easy part: a number that already exists is a summary, not research.
