The strongest version may use fewer of your ideas and more of your attention.

Adding and improving are different activities, and the first is far more fun. Ideas keep arriving and each seems to promise more, so the work fills with clever additions while the basic thing stays half finished. Attention is slower labour: reading it again, fixing the joint that does not quite hold, cutting the part you liked. Most things get good by that route rather than by invention.

Take the piece you are in the middle of and add nothing for a week. Spend the time only on what is already there. Keep a list of the ideas you refused, and see how many still look necessary afterwards.
