I Call Myself an Idea Horder, Here’s Why.

I’ve always had more ideas than time or energy to bring them to fruition.

So, I hoard them. Printed they end up in piles which make my desk look like a ski slope. I have notes in my daily journal (with keywords I hope I’ll remember), a Trello board, and OneNote packed with ideas, headlines, and links to read or reread. Almost forgot the reading list — I think I have one on paper, and electronic ones in OneNote, Libby, my Kindle, Amazon, Powells Books, and…

I wish I did more with those ideas - but since they just keep coming, pounding on my head when I’m driving, in the shower, and especially when I’m trying to sleep - I don’t go back and revisit them.

In the end, just because you had an idea, doesn’t make it a good one.

Cheers,

~ Tess
