Today the world is governed by ideas. People who have idea and act on it are successful. The success is no more limited to people with money infrastructure and power as it used to be few decades back.
Everything has been overshadowed by ideas.
All you need is an idea and will to act upon that. If you do that, everything that is required will follow it.
So nothing is more precious than ideas.
As an internet entrepreneur you are always looking for new ideas. One of the drawback of internet is that it reduces the shelf life of content.
You write an article, it gets popular and then it is soon superseded by a new one.
You need to produce content regularly, write and publish regularly. You need to mail your list, you need to participate in forums and so on…
And everywhere you need ideas to stay ahead.
Therefore ideas are precious. You need to always have good and fresh ideas.
Ideas come suddenly, often when you are least prepared for them. They do not care where you are or what you are doing.
They come when you are jogging, when having lunch or are in mid of some other task.
And if they are not grabbed, they just vanish away.
Later you might try your best to catch them, your memory just fails you.
Therefore, always be prepared to receive them.
There is no big science involved here. All you need is some medium to store and save the idea.
It can be
Paper
Always keep a notepad or diary with you where you can scribble immeditely the moment idea comes. It i important to note every detail that flashes. I like this method and use i most. It is highly convenient and almost instant.
Once you have written your thoughts, they are there to stay. All you need to do is to have a look again.
Computer
When working on computer, I always keep my Notepad open, jus in case an idea knocks. There ar emany softwares available that do it in more sophisticated manner but for me notepad is sufficient.
I can copy later it on a MS Word file which I can use to create the list.
Cell Phone or PDA
When you do not have access to anything else like paper when you are out, cellphone is another thing that you can use. You can write or record your voice.
Similaly PDA can be used for scribbling. The disadvantage with these is that they are little slower as compaed to paper and pen but they ahve an advantage that they have higher chance of being with you.
Digital Recorder
Not comfortable typing or writing? Use digitalvoice recorder instead. You can later file them or transcribe them.
There are many other ways that you all might be using to store your ideas. Do share them.
