Blog Topic Ideas – Record Your Stray Thoughts
This is a part of the Blog Topic Idea series.
This is something I have been following to retain the stray thoughts that come to my mind.
The human brain is one creative machine with all its interconnected synapses. But it is real bad at retaining those weird ideas.
Make it a habit to note down everything that comes to your mind when you are awake. (If you can write when you are asleep, make it 24×7) Make it easier to record them. You need not write out the full text – just some stray words should suffice. You can use an online method but I would advice against it. A small notebook should be good, as you are not always hooked on to the internet.
Every week, go through your notes and you will find a lot many things to write about. Complement this with the other tips, and you will turn into an idea generating machine. :)

When I get some good ideas, I straight away notes down in my whiteboard.

Well, that’s the best practice. I normally write them down on the notepad and then even put them in Google Calendar, to ensure that I complete the task on time.

@Nirmal – white board. Yup that is good one. But I prefer something that I can carry in my pocket.
@Mayank – putting it on the Google Calendar is a good one. That should stop one from being lazy. I think I should start doing that.
