Keep Your Great Ideas Where You Can Use Them!

Trouble keeping track of your great ideas? My friend, Nashlah Boyayan, suggests using a notebook to keep you focused. That's a great idea (I'll be sure to put that in my notebook)! My trouble is once they are in my notebook (that I carry everywhere), when I go back to find that brainstorm, I spend an hour looking for it. I keep saying, "I know it's here somewhere!" or "I'm sure it's in this notebook!" So I have to do something more. I periodically copy them to my computer. Then I can find them then I need them using a simple search. I still use the notebook (maybe iPad will change that) because I need to keep a place to record my next moment of brilliance. (It's kind of like lightening: who knows when or where it'll strike!) Try Microsoft's OneNote, Circus Ponies' Notebook or Filemaker's Bento for keeping them organized and searchable. I've used all three and like them all. Also, check out my friend Nashlah and her website buzzbooster.com. She's got lots of those great ideas for your business.
