Jordan, great advice. I find myself doing the same thing (although my rank goes to 5, very Spinal Tapesque).

I'd challenge anyone that follows a similar system to make sure that all those 1s are actually pursued in some meaningful way, even if just in marginal increments (as you suggest). Having the ideas are a small part of the battle - you become a rain maker if you can execute, which is much easier said than done and something I try to focus on each day.
