Every time an idea pops into my head, no matter how silly, I write it down. Then when I think of (or read) something cool that applies to one of my ideas, such as a clever way to market it, I write that down with it.

Do that long enough (I've been at it 15 years -- I'm 35 now) and you'll have pages of notes.

As for which ideas I pursue- the ones I think I can pull off. Simple web apps, for example, versus a plastic stencil-like guide for cutting the hair on the back of your neck (idea #178).

As for doing it solo vs raising money & hiring a big team -- again, whatever way it will have the most success (for the product, and for my happiness).

This is an even sillier question, but how exactly do you keep track of all your ideas? A special notebook? Spreadsheet? What have you found is the best way to keep track of all your ideas on the go, while never losing track of them, etc?

Thanks!

Evernote, these days. Which reminds me, I should save a backup right now.

Used to be a little spiral bound notebook that I was scared to death of losing.
