Too many video ideas?

[SquaresOfMadness]

In my short amount of time being a member on this site I've seen lots of threads asking for video ideas or how to come up with ideas, which is understandable. However, I seem to have the opposite problem. I write down/sketch all of my ideas or anything funny like a single line of dialog or even ideas that have nothing to do with making videos. Long story short it's gotten to a point where I have way too many ideas so it can be hard to choose which one(s) to do since there's so many choices. Does anyone else have too many ideas? Just wondering...

Well as a gamer I sorta of always have my options open as I can just fall back on a minecraft adventure map if needs be.

Nope, I have the more common problem of not having enough.
I mean I have a long list of tag videos I could do but those are so over saturated

Not really. My problem is that I have a few ideas, but I can't do any of them without a larger subscriber base...

Okay. There are two solutions I can think of
1- write down all the ideas in small paper. Put them in a hat and chose a random idea.
2 as you have many ideas. Again write them out again on small paper and sort them out in the piles. Call them 1, 2 and 3. Make one as "your favourit ideas" , 2 is "middle" , 3 is "meh"
Now. Ignore pile number 3. And pick your ideas from pile number 1 randomly.

Uhhhhh to be fair gaming channels don't have huge issues with ideas, especially since its mostly improve. although saying that, i'm splitting like "Video ideas" and "Unique video ideas", like a gamer can just play any game and their sorted for a video. whereas to make quality or unique content takes a little more thought or prep XD

I created my own person way of picking ideas that works well for me it doesn't make any sense and is unnecessarily complicated but it works.[DOUBLEPOST=1401593241,1401592630][/DOUBLEPOST]

For me there's ideas for a show/series, then there's another level of ideas for that show/series. For example: Right now I'm writing an animated show (20+ minute episodes) and there's so many ideas for characters, backgrounds, music, potential story lines and how the develop, how the story lines interact with other characters/story lines, the list goes on and on. So it can get really hard to pick the right combination of ideas since there's almost an infinite amount of possible outcomes. Then you have to do it again for the next episode.

My ideas have always come at a much faster rate than my ability (or time) to execute them. I have to decide what the best ideas are.
