Perspective:

Your graveyard of rejected ideas is just your seed bank for future ones.


Action:

Instead of discarding ideas that don't work right now, create a systematic way to archive them.

Review this collection periodically, as ideas that weren't feasible before might find perfect application in new contexts or combine with fresh concepts to create a unique angle.
