We often don't know when we will use an idea. Leona, That's a useful tip. Virtually everyone carries a cell phone, so we always have a capture tool ready that way. Stanley,

Sometimes, ideas need to “germinate” and a good use for them will “emerge” at the right time.

Often the ideas that seem counterintuitive are those that can give us the biggest return. Using our inner critic as an alarm is a creative way to recognize such ideas. Brad, I like your using voice recorder as a capture tool. It helps us capture ideas when we can't write (e.g. when we are driving). Shamelle, I use Scrapbook (a Firefox extension) to save interesting materials I find on the web. Since Scrapbook has built-in search feature, it's easy to find materials related to a particular topic. I also use Google Desktop Search to help me find the right materials on my computer that are not saved in Scrapbook. I don't know if these tools work for you, but perhaps you could give them a try.

This is my regular practice. When I find something interesting the I could write about, I either write it down on a notebook, or if its web related I "save" it for later use. Over the years I have accumulated a lot of content which I "saved for later", and now I have the problem of finding something about an exact topic. Is there a approach you use to simplify this problem? Thank you Shamelle Hi Donald,

It'll never work, he says. Those are the ideas you need to stop and examine closer, because those are the ideas you may be able to craft into something unique and life changing. Use your inner critic as an alarm for 'great' ideas. Good post. Your inner critic will tell you an idea is dangerous or stupid or crazy. It’ll never work, he says.
