How to become an idea machine: (thread)
1/ Problem: You want to start creating but the ideas aren& #39;t flowing.

Solution: Create a system for effortless idea generation.
2/ Our minds are for having ideas, not holding them.

For ideas to flow freely, you need to get them out of your head.

Idea purgatory: a mind filled with ideas but nowhere to put them.

But, a mind comfortable having ideas will generate far more than you know what to do with.
3/ The idea machine system

The system has three parts:
• Idea capture
• Idea review
• Idea abundance

To get ideas out of your head, you need to set up inboxes.

Everywhere.

Everywhere you may have an idea needs an inbox.
4/ Idea capture

1. On your phone: use @draftsapp
2. On your computer: use @todoist quick capture
3. In the shower: buy a waterproof whiteboard
4. On the go: carry a small field notes notebook
5. While you sleep: leave post-its next to your bed

Get comfortable capturing ideas.
5/ Idea review

At the end of every week, churn through these inboxes.

Most of the ideas will suck. Good.

It& #39;s only after unclogging the shitty ideas will the good ones start to flow.

One by one, process each inbox.

Save the best ideas in a giant list. Throw the rest away.
6/ Idea abundance

Use this system for a month. Soon enough, you& #39;ll have too many ideas to know what to do with.

Then, start sharing one idea every day.

Writing from scarcity is impossible.

Writing from abundance is effortless.

Forgot to mention one inbox: taking notes on calls with people.

Always a treasure trove of ideas to dig through at the end of the week.
