Stefan Sagmeister is a thinker and a doer.

Stefan Sagmeister: Don't Take Creativity For Granted from 99% on Vimeo.

I woke up tonight drowning in ideas. A good thing?  I think not.  At least not a good thing in the middle of the night.  As I was lying in bed and ideas swarmed around my head, my frustrations with implementation overwhelmed me.  I tossed and turned and grew progressively more agitated. I was suffering from my own creative worst-case-scenario:  The undone idea.

I have been submerging myself in a whole world of thought experiments and prototypes.  So much so that they seem to all be mashing together to form one, giant blob with no beginning and no end.  For me, this has become a problem.

I have even found outlets for these ideas.  Places where others distribute ideas freely:

http://www.ideeeas.com/

So here I sit, blogging and scheming and relentlessly jotting notes and sketching diagrams...

Only to be met with a universal conclusion: Develop a bias towards action.
