- Really, get or make a journal. I find the act of writing on paper helps with my creativity, plus I can sketch as well. You can journal online if that’s more your style. If you do, you will still want to have some paper and pencil for sketching – unless you do that with a drawing pad (the computer one, not the pad of drawing paper).
- Brain dump – when your mind is racing with ideas, just write them all down. Have a section in your journal just for brain dumps.
- Look to the past – Sometimes looking back on our journey helps us remember things we loved that we may have moved away from. Sometimes it helps us see how far we’ve come.
- Sketch away – I have a journal just for design ideas. Many of the pages have ideas taped on them because I scribbled them down while I was out and about. Journals with pockets are great for those items.
