Making a Start - Saving Notes and Ideas Through the Day

Making a Start - Saving Notes and Ideas Through the Day

A great tip is to create somewhere on your phone where you can save all the ideas and inspiration that come to you for your business. It is essential to be able to take notes when you can’t focus on things so that you don’t lose them. You will constantly think of new ideas and action points as you move through your day - in the shower, doing housework or when you are with your kids. Write them all down so that you can follow through on them when you have some more focused time.  

I use Trello to capture everything that comes to me that I want to save throughout my day. I keep adding a card to my ‘to-do’ board or business boards for new ideas, and I return to it later. I can take screenshots, save weblinks, save photos, jot down notes or create a checklist.  

I am also using One Drive a lot more for my working documents (blog, email newsletters, course outlines), so I can open these documents on the One Drive app and add to them as I think of anything new.  

Many people will also use the Notes App on their smartphone to do something similar to Trello and One Drive. So choose a way that works for you and start using it!
