You need to add qualifiers to the discovery process, pick concepts that you can execute quickly and easily. As AmberShah suggests, start with the 'The four steps to Epiphany' this will help you frame the process.

Don't write a single line of code till you have crunched through the viability of the idea for making a return on both financial and personal (happiness) fronts.

Don't get attached to ideas, if you can't execute them with the resources you have move on.

Think lean in everything you do, remember walls are there for smashing through

I'm not sure how to "think lean" when I have no inspiration on what to do. I know going back to university wouldn't be lean, so I've crossed that off the list. I know I can't head into something that requires too much initial experience, so I'll cross that out as well. I'll definitely read "The four steps to Epiphany" and see what I can learn about myself. Thanks!
