I think I have many ideas because I value them when they come to me. I don’t know where the ideas come from, but when I get them I do something about them. That does not mean I have to put every idea into action – many I just don’t have time for so they go into my ideas bin. I keep my ideas bin in Microsoft One Note.
I used to use excel but found it not flexible enough for the way that I work.
Ideas are important and I treat them as such. They are in my mind like manna from heaven. I have found in the past that if I ignore my ideas I get less of them, the more attention I give to my ideas the more of them I get.
Sometimes it is all too much. I work on the web and everything I see some days is like another idea for a site, for a page on a site that is there already, or just for a post here or on another blog somewhere. But I do my best to write it down and pay attention to it – ideas are my gold mine.
Are you looking after your ideas and mind?
