I checked out Bet Your Rep (and your <a href="http://esbueno.noahstokes.com/post/107929323/bet-your-rep-idea-to-launch" rel="nofollow">post</a>) -- awesome work. Everyone isn't going to be able to turn an idea in 24-hours like you did, but the quicker you get to an idea, the better. Just heard Jason Fried last week, and he happened to mention ideas being perishable, too. Travis - yeah, sucks to kill pet projects, but maybe it gets you on better ideas quicker. We'll see.

This would force time to be moved off of that current project and onto the next one. I always find it a relieving but at the same time frustrating move when the "fun" project dies or needs to go. You've spent all the time, but usually by the time this happens I'm excited about another idea or over that pet project if it hasn't grown enough. I like this idea also!

I would love to see creativity abound in projects that aren't meant for a lifetime, but a short, perhaps single day use. I did something similar with a game of golf I played earlier this week. http://betyourrep.noahstokes.com Perhaps settings a 'kill date' will encourage more folks to get ideas launched without the worry (read: time suck) of future proofing.
