The Capture Habit

TIAGO FORTE
About this episode

Don't play "catch and release" with your thoughts. Your ideas have value, but tend to arrive when you least expect them. By making it a habit to "capture" and save them, you can allow them to live forever in a trusted system that reflects your goals and interests. This also leaves your mind free and clear to come up with even more ideas.
