Don't just do something, sit there!

File everything that's not immediately necessary or urgent on a "someday, maybe" list. Do the things that are necessary or urgent, as you have time and opportunity for them. Check your "someday, maybe" list periodically (no more than weekly) to see if you have time and opportunity to elevate one idea to a live project with doable next actions.

If any of those ideas are projects that would be nice to have done, but could be done by someone other than you, maybe just write up the idea and publish it out in the world. Someone might take it up before you get to it, but if they don't, that's fine, too.

Remember that you are mortal, and that even if you complete these projects, that will probably be forgotten in a generation or so. In the scope of the universe, it doesn't matter at all if you do them or not. So choose to do some only for yourself — or not.
