Using Google Docs To Capture And Evolve Your Best Ideas

A few days ago I promised you that I would post something about how I go about keeping track of and developing my e-book ideas. This concept isn’t exclusive to e-books though, to be honest. I used to keep either a notepad and a pen handy to write down my ideas and that is still a very valid idea. However, if you’re like me you might occasionally forget to keep your notepad and your pen handy. So, what I have started doing is using Google docs to keep my ideas handy.

The beauty of using Google docs is that as long as you have a working Internet connection you have your notes close by. This is great for writing small notes and keeping track of your ideas while you are travelling or at work or something similar. In fact, with cell phone technology and the mobile version of Google docs it is easy to keep your notes updated at all times.

Deciding Which Ideas To Use For Future Product Creation

Generally I go by the rule that no idea is so bad that it shouldn’t be written down. That does not mean that all ideas will turn into future product, but by writing them down the brain will start working in overdrive and help you develop more and potentially even better ideas! The fact is that allowing your ideas, even the bad ones, to run through your mind will give you a ton of new ideas. When it’s time to decide on which idea to turn into a product you shouldn’t pick the idea you think is the best one. You would pick the one with the best marketing potential! Don’t pick an idea you hate though, pick one of the ideas that you really like, but make sure it has a viable marketing potential.

The reason I love using Google docs for this is that I can always access it, either through my computer or through my cell phone. That makes Google docs another tool from Google I can’t live without!
