As entrepreneurs, many (probably most) of us are plagued with a common challenge; we have more ideas than we have time to execute them.
One particular case for me is writing. Whether that means something as basic as a post for our blog, something more robust like a book or something in between, ideas pop into my head throughout the day, every single day. Unless I make a note of them, many are lost forever to the next wave of ideas, so I’ve made it a point to always have paper and a pen handy everywhere I go so I can jot my ideas down whenever inspiration strikes.
But paper has it drawbacks. I’ve often found some of my best ideas tucked away, deep in a filing cabinet, that have outlived their usefulness, despite never having been executed. So what’s the solution? If you’re using WordPress to run your website, you can log in an save a draft of your ideas. It doesn’t have to be anything more complete than a rough title, you just need to put your idea somewhere that you’ll see it every time you log in to your website.
Then, it’s easy to sort your posts by status (published, scheduled, drafts, etc.) so you can take a quick look, prioritize them and take action as necessary.
Over time you’re going to go through creative periods, as well as dry spells, so when inspiration strikes, make sure you don’t throw away any opportunities!
