Never write an idea down. The ones that are worth pursuing are the ones that keep nagging at you long after you've moved on to other things.

Writing my ideas down helps them stop nagging me, allowing me to focus on what I rationally think is the most viable.

You don't think this is the right approach?

I write them down and only a few keep nagging me. The others are frequently good ideas I'm just not excited enough about.

very bad advice. you must write down every idea dated, witnessed and signed. for i.p. issues. And they say, the witnesses must not be related to you. (!)
