Andy: I’ve found what you said about ideas leading to ideas to be completely true. I write down one idea that seems cool, and suddenly three better ones pop in my head. It’s like the brain goes, “Hey! I’m being allowed to be creative? You asked for it!”

The power of brainstorming ideas on a notepad really intrigues me. The amount of information that can come flooding out of one’s brain and how it can leap from idea to idea over such a short period of time is indeed amazing.

I need to follow through on some of my ideas such that I finally analyze them to figure out whether it is working or not. I mean, I do this passively but I need to actively sit down and analyse what is working and what isn’t.

I can empathize with getting ideas in the middle of the night. I don’t want to know how many great ideas I’ve had that I didn’t write down and subsequently forgot.

And I kind of like the idea of shower doodling. It sounds like a great way to spark some creativity!

Hi Sara,

I seem to come up with ideas for blog posts when I’m in the shower. I keep thinking I should just keep a dry erase pen in there and write my ideas on the wall of the shower.

And like Rebecca, I get ideas just as I’m getting all cozy in bed. Many times I’ve gotten up and typed up my ideas. If I don’t, they are gone.

You are an inspiration to me! I am going through a transition now so everything seems new, and I sometimes feel like I am unable to communicate clearly what I mean, or accurately do what I know how to do! So I am particularly drawn to numbers 1 and 2 on your list.

What’s life without transitions?
Harmony,
Janet
