Too much of a good thing

There are many times when ideas come to mind in such a way, that there are too many to get down
all at once. Often, this happens to me, when I'm in my private apartment oralizing my ideas... maybe 
after a bath, particularly...

What I do, is that I develop my ideas one at a time, into different essays; And I make notes - and list
each fresh idea at the bottom of the page - then scroll that off the screen...

And, I feel that if I have found it appropriate to work more than one of these different ideas into a single  
essay - even if one was just a sidelight to another topic; then, I'm done with those extra notions for the 
day. I don't feel obligated to develop each idea into it's own essay...

If I have thought about the sidelight idea, in it's own right, and I have put it into a context - it's been 
given a place in my mind; and it'll be mulled tomorrow -  on a different day, in a different way.
