Notice when you have an idea

Do you capture them... the ideas and thoughts you have while you’re reading, listening or thinking?
We overestimate the number of ideas we think we’ll remember. Our train of thought is interrupted with the mundane ... and boom, the thought is gone!
Worry less about a perfect system for collecting ideas and start with ANY system!
> Write a few words on a post it
> Say a few phrases into a voice memo
> Jot a note in a journal.
We undervalue the creative thoughts that come to us - either by not noticing them at all, or noticing them but judging them as unworthy.
Still after the perfect system? But having it may not mean you firstly notice when you’re having an idea! We can have a shed of tools and not use them. Or a device of apps we rarely tap!
The point is, to become more aware you’ve had an idea or thought that could be captured ... and could be useful in the future.
Notice ideas and more ideas will come.
