Fighting scope creep / creeping featuritis

You know that all too common problem - you keep thinking of new ideas, expanding the scope of your project, and forget that you have to prioritize them and ship the thing first? What do you do to tame this beast?

I've found that creating a simple idea checklist works wonders - GitHub Boards are one of many ways this can be done - and set a periodic reminder to check development against the plan so I don't drift too far.

What works best for you? I'm interested in your methods!
