Two schools of thinking I flip flop between to rationalize however I'm currently behaving:
a.) Ideas not meaningfully capitalized on are no more useful than delusions. Force yourself to focus with tools.
b.) Don't worry about it; you should be able to think and imagine freely in and about the environment the world has presented you with. When you have The One Right Idea™, you'll know, and it'll be like it's putting itself together in front of you. Allow yourself kindness, understanding, and leniency; only then will your output be pure. Or something.
Maybe it's good to have some of both of these. Maybe I should plan for them in advance.
