3 Reasons Why You Should Write Down Everyone Of Your Ideas

A lot of ideas are constantly crashing through my head. I might not pay attention to a lot of verbal sounds, but I see a simple word and it can set off a chain reaction of events which lead into more chain reactions which lead into more chain reactions! Whether its simply walking in a store or reading a book, one of the ways ideas come through me is through the written word.

And since I come across a lot of different words everyday, there is just a constant flow of thought that if I am not careful can utterly just make a mess of everything. I get so absolutely frustrated when I think of something and then BAM! It disappears forever because I didn’t take the time to write it down. Well, millions of lost ideas later, I thought that no matter what I will do my best to jot down my ideas. From little scraps to a notebook that is always in my car to my trusty macbook pro, every idea is recorded and kept for future use.

There are so many benefits to writing down everything that is inspiring you!

Deeer, So You Don’t Forget Anything

The obvious benefit being of course that every idea you have is at your disposal whenever, wherever. There is not a single idea left out. What’s funny is that an idea today that might not be so good can be quite exciting a few days or even a few months later. And yes, one idea can inspire another idea which in turn can inspire another idea.  And since you don’t have to worry about forgetting anything, your mind can be more focused on coming up with some new possibilities. Allowing you to truly pay attention.

Listening To Infinity

When I write down my ideas the very moment I get them, I feel as if I am constantly brainstorming, no matter where I am. Once I’ve decided on an endpoint, I can be absolutely anywhere, from driving a car to eating a subway and feel as if ideas related to my goal are just popping out of nowhere. It’s very exciting and to me a great use of my time. People can just be walking around feeling very bored, but to be honest, sometimes I just do not understand how that is even possible.
I sometimes feel there isn’t enough hours to get all my ideas out.

Being Grateful

On a more spiritual level, when I take the time to write down an idea, I feel as if I am saying a thank you to the universe that inspired it. It is very easy to feel let down and uninspired, but when we truly listen and pay attention, we see ideas are always in abundance around us. A challenge involving a goal of mine can come up and I know if Im patient, there is just an idea waiting to be written down. And when it shows up, I know Im ready to write it down.
