1. Obtain a notebook
To begin with, writing by hand improves memory, and recalling your ideas can give them more weight and motivate you to take action. Additionally, you can sketch, save images or video clips, or even press a leaf or flower if your process is more tactile or visual.
2. A digital journal
Think about recording your thoughts digitally using a programme like Google Docs. If you remember to use it regularly, a single document where you drop all of your wonderful insights can work nicely. (Pro-tip: A bookmark on your browser toolbar can make it easier to access your idea diary.)
3. Review your concepts
The greatest way to keep your thoughts organised is to make use of them. Only if you have a plan to go back and implement the best ones are your ideas worth keeping track of. Every few months, make it a point to review your idea file to see which of those incredible discoveries merit further investigation.
4. Send an email To yourself
To help you remember, grab your phone and send yourself a quick email. Talk to yourself if you are driving and looking for a place to pull over, or if you are dripping and need to dry off. Speaking aloud can help you remember information better and hold onto wild ideas until you have time to write them down.
5. Record voice memos
Use the voice recognition feature on your smartphone to create a new voice memo if you have one with you. You do not even need to move a finger. The voice memo does not need to be comprehensive or even organised; just summarise the main ideas or use mnemonics to help you remember them.
