You Don't Need a Fancy Journal Either
Whenever you have an idea on your mind – whenever a new, creative idea pops up – that idea or thought takes up precious space in your brain.
The best way to help control the weight of ideas in your mind is also the most effective way to ensure that your good ideas don't get thrown out automatically: write your ideas down.
Do yourself a favor and don’t let your brain get bogged down with all of the ideas floating around in your head. Write your ideas down, all of the time. It will help clear up some of the clutter and give you a truly valuable resource for referring to down the road.
And you don’t need a fancy journal to do it either.
At the beginning of the year I started writing things down more and more. To-do lists, random thoughts, ideas etc... It's been a few months and I can say that the result of this analog aspect has been fantastic. I keep a Baron Fig Apprentice notebook almost everywhere now. In the car, in my nightstand drawer, and a couple at work.
