137. How to Capture Your Ideas Before You Forget Them (Micro Strategy)

Episode 137

Ideas are only good if we remember them, am I right? Right. So why do we keep telling ourselves that we’ll remember something “later” when we never do?

The idea that occurred to us in the shower? Gone.

The thought we had lying in bed? Gone.

The task we want to do later? Gone.

In this micro strategy episode, I share a nifty little hack for how to capture these ideas when they occur to you (which is always when you don’t have a pen handy), and what to do with them so that you can actually come back to them at a later point.

What You Learn:

  • Why “I’ll remember that” is total nonsense

  • Two micro strategies I personally use to capture my ideas on the go

  • How to make this whole process frictionless (in other words, easy to use)

  • What to do with your ideas once you capture them, so that you can DO something with them
