The one that keeps you up at night.

Sounds good, but actually imo flawed advice. Almost every new idea I've had that has "kept me up at night" has started to seem much more mundane after a few weeks of work.

I watch out for the ones that come back to keep me up at night after the inevitable phase of boredom.
