It is a funny thing how the creative mind works. I’m sure any number of you can attest to this.
It is 1 a.m. in the morning, your mind is swimming with ideas. So what is a person to do with all these ideas? There are several solutions to this problem and they are as follows…
- Lie awake in bed and let stare at the ceiling, thinking of all those ideas.
- Visualize those ideas.
- If your significant other is still up, tell them of all your ideas and future plans.
- Write them down.
Lying there and thinking up ideas is important, but to think up those ideas you must visualize. Sharing with others is an part of the creative process too. If you see that they become just as excited as you are about your idea, you know you are on the right track.
My rule of thumb for writing down an idea is this…
…it has to be good enough, that it sticks with you for at least a week or longer. If you forget about it well, it wasn’t very good to begin with.
