We look at a disciplined person and say “Man, they do everything right.”

It’s not about doing everything right. Success is about doing the right thing.

The 4 Benefits of Having an Idea Incubation List

jmilligan09@gmail.com (Jonathan Milligan) — Fri, 30 Aug 2013 00:00:00 -0400

One quality of most Creatives is they never run short on ideas. Ideas are exciting. It’s the fun of starting something new. New trails to blaze, new skills to learn, and new worlds to conquer.

I have a central place inside my Evernote account where all my ideas go to brew. Having them in a trusted place helps me to release them for a bit while I focus on shipping what’s already on my plate.

Since I started an idea incubation list, I have noticed at least 4 benefits.
