What’s life without a little challenge? — Boring that’s what!
Challenge: Start Carrying an Idea Notebook
This week’s challenge is simple enough.
You’ve heard it before, but if you aren’t carrying a notebook around with you, you’re missing out on potential ideas that might pop up.
Ideas can come from anywhere,
so it’s a great idea to carry a pen and notebook (or in my case multiple!) around with you to capture the moment.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had ideas on the go which leads to some of my best work. And – to look at the opposite side of the spectrum – how many ideas I’ve forgotten because I didn’t take the time to write them down.
This doesn’t have to be weird — you don’t have to carry a notebook the size of a small dog around — just grab something small, and throw it in your pocket or purse.
If you already carry a notebook, your challenge is to challenge someone else!
