Hope everyone is doing well out there, wanted to share a great way to keep and develop ideas.

Writing down those ideas

Several years ago I read the Magic of Thinking Big. In that book one of the points I took out of it was to always have a way to record ideas. It seems to me that the best ideas occur to me when I least expect them to. That’s why I am a big proponent of creating space in your life to think and ponder. You will probably find as I have when you have free time to think ideas will start flowing because it’s as if your mind works best for ideas when at ease rather than pressure. You can buy a little notebook (my personal favorite) or some people use their phone (palm pre , iphone, etc.) to write down these ideas. Whatever you do just make sure to write them out in detail when you have them and look back at them.

The key is to go back to these ideas are written and expound on them. You will find that most of your ideas aren’t useful but you will find a great idea that you can work with to make money , make a difference, be more efficient, etc. Isn’t one great idea all Microsoft, Apple, Mark Cuban , Henry Ford , Thomas Edison needed?

The idea for chaiwisdom came out of one of these mini-notebooks I carry around….try it for yourself and comment below on how it has helped you.
