Well ask yourself why you have so little time. Are you passionate enough about your ideas that you feel what you're doing instead isn't exciting/worth it?

If you have ideas but you feel your time is better spent doing your work/school/whatever, then get one super-compelling idea and follow through!

That's a fair point, but the point is I am already executing one of the things that I am passionate about. So following through is happening in that regard.

But in the midst of that execution, there are other ideas that probably have a genuine shot of generating some revenue. So the question is how to either:

A - Prevent yourself getting distracted by that idea. Do you share it or just sit on it?

B - Seriously evaluate whether it is worth either changing direction or finding ways to execute both (or more) ideas in parallel.

Given that we have the phrase "serial entrepreneur" (which I am not a big fan of honestly) rather than "parallel entrepreneur" I'm guessing a one thing at a time approach is the best way to go ;)
