Just getting them on paper and out of your head will probably do the trick. For me, I almost feel like I'd rather share those ideas - if I write about them, then someone else can run with an idea that otherwise would have gone unused. If I ever need to reference that idea in the future, I can simply see it online. Keeping a journal / idea log is not a bad idea, if theres’ a chance those ideas will be useful one day.

I'm the type of person who needs a lot of stimulation before hitting on the right path to take. And even if the idea is stupid, or wrong, it might jog my memory for something else. But I've kept them all (mostly on scrap pieces of paper before transferring them to my organizer) so that I can reference them & maybe come up with an even better idea.
