Grouped by What It Takes
A desk and an hour, a trip out, thirty days of waiting, or somebody else's diary. Ideas arrive grouped by what it takes to film them, so today's separate from someday's.
A blog post that misses costs an afternoon. A video that misses costs a weekend, a location and somebody else's diary.
Sorted by production reality, marked for depth, and weighed as a set.
A desk and an hour, a trip out, thirty days of waiting, or somebody else's diary. Ideas arrive grouped by what it takes to film them, so today's separate from someday's.
Each is marked as good for one video or for six. A single episode and a run are worth different amounts to a channel, and a flat list of ideas hides which is which entirely.
Tutorials, teardowns, comparisons, opinion. You get the mix across the set, because seven of the ten are tutorials more often than anyone intends and a channel narrows without anyone deciding to.
Say what the channel is, get ideas sorted by whether you can shoot them.
Your subject, who watches, and anything you will not film. Mention how you usually shoot.
Ideas come back already grouped by production demand, marked for depth, with the type mix summarised.
Start with the group you are equipped for. Keep the rest with their labels for when circumstances change.
Three things this sorts out and three it does not.
Grouping by production demand only removes the impossible ones. Filmable is not the same as worth filming, and nothing here can tell you whether an idea deserves the weekend it will take. That judgement stays with the person who knows the audience.

The script, the opening and the title live elsewhere on this site, each with its own page. This one stops at deciding what the video is, which is the decision that comes before all three and gets made worst when rushed.

A list of ideas is not a direction. Ten good topics with nothing connecting them produce ten videos and no channel, and no generator can supply the connective decision about what this channel is for.

What this channel is and what it will not film, how you like the grouping, which formats are off the table. That persists between sessions. Your AllyHub never starts from scratch again, so planning the second month gets faster every time.

Channels where uploads stopped, teams planning a month, channels with nothing on them yet, and anyone whose ideas are all too big.
Uploads that stopped usually stopped on production, not on inspiration. A shoot slipped a week, then the next one slipped too, and the habit went with them.
Planning a month means committing to shoot days, and shoot days are the constraint everything else bends around. Sorting ideas by what they demand is the difference between a plan and a wish list.
A channel with nothing on it yet has no format habits to fall back on, so every idea looks equally plausible and equally unproven. Starting from what you can shoot beats starting from what sounds best.
Every idea is too big to shoot is a specific and common trap: the interesting ideas all involve travel, guests or months of elapsed time. Seeing them sorted makes the smaller versions visible.

What it is, cost, the format mix, scripts and titles, and repeat planning.
A way to decide what the next video is. On YouTube the line worth drawing is between an idea and a shootable idea, because only the second kind ever becomes an upload.
Ten ideas, free. Paid plans cover longer sessions, several channels, and holding your channel's rules across them.
Yes, that is reported as the mix across the set. Seven of the ten are tutorials is the kind of thing nobody notices while writing the list and everybody notices three months into the uploads.
No. Those three each have a page of their own, and this one stops one step earlier, at what the video is going to be.
Most return a flat list where a desk video and a month-long project look identical. Here the grouping is by what filming would take, each idea says whether it is one video or a run, the type mix is summarised, and the channel's own rules stay set.
