Why your brain can’t do it alone and what you can do it help
Notes to self

Introduction

Shower thoughts, day dreams, and nightmares. While we’re zoning out, driving in the car or as we’re drifting off to sleep to take a nap. Our best creative ideas can strike us at the strangest times. Don’t let your best creative ideas slip away from you - write them down.
In a world buzzing with information and constant stimulation, our brains often find themselves juggling multiple tasks, responsibilities, and thoughts simultaneously. Yet, one misconception that continues to prevail is the notion that our brains are storage vaults for all the creative ideas we come up with. While our brains are undoubtedly powerful and capable of remarkable feats, relying solely on them to store our creative ideas might not be the best approach.

Creative Overload

Have you ever experienced a moment of pure inspiration, where an innovative idea struck you out of the blue? It's an exhilarating feeling that fuels your passion and makes you want to bring that idea to life. However, these moments are fleeting, and relying on your brain to hold onto them is like trying to catch lightning in a bottle. As much as our brains are adept at processing information, they can also be forgetful and overwhelmed by the constant influx of new thoughts.

The Burden of Storage

Imagine if every creative spark, every brilliant concept, and every ingenious solution had to be stored in your brain. It would be like a cluttered attic filled to the brim with ideas, leaving little room for you to maneuver and explore new avenues of creativity. The burden of storing ideas could lead to mental fatigue and hinder your ability to generate fresh, innovative thoughts.

The Liberation of Mental Space

When you free your brain from the duty of storing every creative idea, you open up vast mental space for generating even more ideas. Just as clearing physical clutter in your environment can make room for new possibilities, freeing your mind from the storage task allows it to focus on what it does best: creating, refining, and expanding upon ideas.

Harnessing External Tools

So, if your brain isn't the best place to store your creative ideas, where should you keep them? Enter external tools like digital note-taking platforms, task management apps, and project management software. These tools are designed to handle the meticulous task of storing and organizing your ideas while giving your brain the freedom to explore new avenues of imagination.
