For those that do creative projects, how do you get past choice paralysis? If you’re a writer and have 5 book ideas you feel are pretty good, how do you choose the best one to move forward with?

I am a programmer, not a writer, so I’m not sure if my experience is relevant, but my approach is trivial: write all ideas down, because most of them will be inevitably forgotten no matter how cool they are. Then choose the one that looks the easiest to implement.
I do a little writing but the writer example is mostly because its easier to visualize.
The choice paralysis I’m getting stuck on is indie game development - Most project choices I’m looking at are measured in several months to years of effort and that’s even in flux depending on how you approach it.
Pick something you know and enjoy, and what you can make with your current skill set.
Remember that you can always make a different choice next time.
Probably not too helpful as it’s very generic advice but I hope it helps.
