Catch Thoughts Fast to not lose them
LinkedIn Post
The 3-second window that determines your creative fate
→ Ideas are fleeting: They appear briefly, then fade away.
A missed opportunity, just happened this morning again:
→ I had a thought for a new writing topic
→ But I wasn’t intentional enough to grab it
→ I got distracted by switching browser windows.
➠ Idea lost, unable to retrieve it
I wish I could always catch these sparks of inspiration.
Sometimes we win,
sometimes we literally lose, right?
Today was a wake-up call:
➠ Follow through with INTENTION
Usually, I activate my idea-catch-system:
→ I talk it out in VoicePal
(My usage of Voicepal: https://lnkd.in/eqhR4ugf)
→ I jot it down with Spark-Remark-Relate (SRR)
(SRR details: https://lnkd.in/eX-wfw8q)
→ I add it to my Todoist “Topics to Write About” list
⇢ It’s 134 tasks strong now
→ My shield against the blank page
(No Blank Page: https://lnkd.in/g359xaig)
My system’s aim:
Shorten the gap between idea spark and capture
But I’ve learned:
Tools aren’t enough → I need to add INTENTION
I must commit to immediate action when inspiration strikes.
Do you remember such situations too?
What is ONE way of catching the thought that works for you?
