I completely agree that generating ideas is a creative process, and a beautiful one I must add. But an idea can only be validated through execution. There's only a certain bit of pre-filtration we can perform before narrowing down to the most feasible set of ideas, but the actual test of an idea is in its execution. What good is an idea, if it's never executed? More so because the execution of a poor idea trains us to develop better ideas. I feel, most ideas never get executed because subconsciously they are not important (subjective) to us. Thanks for your comment James.

Developing ideas is part of the creative process. Generally speaking, you have to develop a lot of ideas in order to develop some good ones. So ideas can have value as stepping stones. And executing mediocre ideas can waste time. It can be better to hold off. More than just wasting time, it can be a form of 'premature optimization' - ossifying your thinking before you had a chance to fully develop it. > But ironically, a lot of ideas people have are like
