The Idea Logjam

Do you have a blockage?

Not the medical kind. The idea kind.

For weeks I had three or four ideas sitting in my head, unwritten. Good ones - I thought. Ideas someone else might benefit from.

But I did not take the time to write them down.

And I noticed something strange: I had stopped having new ones. The unwritten ideas were the blockage. They pile up like a log jam on a river.

Writing the post is prying loose the logs. It finishes the thought. Your head lets go of it, and the next idea comes through. Then the one after that. The more you think, the more you think.

What idea has been sitting in your head for a month? Write it down today. The next one is waiting right behind it.
