Using A Notepad

Carry a notepad and writing utencil with you everywhere! I can't believe the number of creative ideas that occur to me in a day, and I also can't believe how incredibly fast they disappear from my memory. It's been shown that writing down all your ideas -- including the bad ones, because they may be useful elsewhere -- increases the number of ideas you have! Writing it forces you to think about it and consider it further. It also encourages your subconscious to produce more of creative ideas because you are paying attention to them and putting them to use. Almost everything has a snowball effect in life. The more creative you are the more creative it makes you, and the notepad is a key step to starting to be creative. You will begin looking for inspiration in everything, and then jot it down, think about it, and remember it later.
