Your blog can save the day.

When you get a great idea – for an article, new product or nearly anything – open your blog editing page.

Enter your idea and save it as a draft.

Now you can come back to it later – but no one else can see it, because you haven’t published it.

I like to leave notes about my idea in the body of the draft. I can easily come back to them later and expand on them.

If I am working on an article, after I get it fleshed out completely, I can then click on “Publish” and my new article will be added to my blog/website for all to see.

This helps me remember those sudden flashes of inspiration.
