Seeing the *bigger* picture

Why is it that *really* good ideas and concepts come into my sphere of possible actions when I am already more than busy enough with other projects?

Is it a test to see if the new idea is truly that good? ... worthy even, of bumping something else apparently not quite worthwhile enough out of my priority list?

I think so - either that, or my mind is simply too prone to scope creep as new possibilities cross my horizon line. ( ...which is a possible failing I must confess to on some occasions)
The synergy that can marry two different projects into one bigger picture should always be worth pursuing, even if the available hours left in the day for sleep take a hit.

(...sigh)
