7 Idea Dumping Tips (How To Manage Diarrhea of the Brain) at LifeDev

I love this post. I do. It makes total sense to me as a creative, organizationalphobic entrepreneur. I have the notebook, and in many ways I do some of these things now. As a matter of fact, some of these are how I plan websites and projects. But using it to classify ideas... wow... cool.

7 Idea Dumping Tips (How To Manage Diarrhea of the Brain) at LifeDev
Idea dumping is a lot like brainstorming. (I happen to be an expert on idea dumping because I just made the term up 5 minutes ago.). Brainstorming to me is more of a process where you have a problem, and you try and find a solution to it, with the end goal in mind. It’s a great concept in theory–except it never happens that way for me. It seems like whenever I really need a great idea, they are nowhere to be found. Yet when I’m doing something completely unrelated and seemingly unimportant, I’ll be floating in ideas. And when the mind finally does agree to cooperate and turn on, I won’t usually get just one good idea but a bunch of ‘em at a time. When it rains it pours, but it’s a summer in Texas otherwise.

Take a look at these great notebook ideas:

The Watercolor Reporters are available in pocket and large sizes, and sell for the same price as the Classic Moleskine formats - contrary to what you may have seen elsewhere with some online sellers taking pre-orders at inflated prices. Please remember if you are ordering from outside the US that you cannot use the Shopping Cart in the online store - just email your order and I will send an invoice through PayPal that includes International shipping.

Ooooh... Ebay!

Anyway, I will be taking this post and printing it and working with the concepts. Hope you take a moment to read and think about how it can work for you.

UpDate: Damn. maybe I was a little hasty on jumping on the Blogger beta. Lots of errors. Forgive me.
