Overwhelming Creativity

I often have ideas that I feel are great and other times they are duds. That being said I have so many things that I want to do but can never stay focused on a single project.
For example; I'm building a web application and then decide "Well, it would be cool to develop this particular type of game or hey I can create designs for T-Shirts."
The problem is I feel that I'm good at all of these things and enjoy taking part in all of these hobbies. How to I choose what to work on and how do I keep focus?

How about doing what's more important or what you are more passionate about?

@xCasino Can you dedicate yourself to both? If not, do a pro/con list for both. Maybe that will help you make your decision.

@lovebuglena I think I can manage both, it'll just take some time management to be able to successfully do both I believe.

This is something I do understand as I tend to be an all rounder myself. I bet you draw circles when you doodle and make spider diagrams for notes and see an argument from every side too, I think the best thing is to make a list that begins. 1. Finish web app. 2, Develop a game. 3. Design some T shirts. Or you could do 2 hours a day on each thing. The danger is that without focus you never actually finish anything.

I am the exact same. And with this I make lists and schedules. During the morning I work on crocheting for my crocheting shop. During the evening I work on drawings for t-shirts and my graphic novel. And during the weekends it is drawing time and writing time for my scripts.
If I get another idea in the mean time I put it on a list of things to do and get to it later.
It is very hard to be a creative mind, but it is better to work on everything than to be a juggler.

I totally can relate. Sometimes I wish that I can do certain things, like develop apps, because I have ideas seemingly all the time. Maybe it would be ideal if we could delegate the idea to a developer or something.

I also get myself in such situations but at the end of it all you have to prioritize. If all of those things make you happy just pen them down and do them one at a time.Don't beat yourself too hard.Above all do what makes you happy.
