I love notebooks, the leuchtturm1917 really is the gold standard.
I have an ideas factory, it's been in many different places over the years but it's on my phone at the moment, not all ideas are good now, but one day it might be, it's always fun to read through old ones!
Definitely! One of my favourite things is to see things that I was thinking about 2, 3, 5 years ago. Especially when there’s a random thought next to an old idea as well. It’s almost like stepping back into my thinking however many years ago.
I've got an ideas folder in Gmail from 12 years ago. One of my “ideas” was to take vintage film cameras and convert them to modern CCTV cameras to watch your pets whilst you were out.
It's a nostalgia goldmine having access to those thoughts!
Love your concept of cleaning the creative pipes. I write all my ideas down too. It not only helps me organize them but also serves as a great way to reflect on my growth over time. By tracking progress, I can clearly see how much I’ve achieved and improved along the way.
Good point! I didn't think of sharing this but I've certainly benefited from it.
I also have some reference notes in Obsidian (digital note-taking app) that I keep going back to as prompts or frameworks. So useful for irregular tasks but also to just make sure I've not forgotten anything.
