thinking about something else

in conversation

10. It’s what you do
with your ideas
that counts!

11. Otherwise,
there’s no point
in being creative

12. First, you have to
capture your ideas

14. To capture
ideas, you
need tools:

15. a notebook, a
recorder
or an app

everything.

what will be
useful later

whiteboards, paper, mind
mapping – you choose!

Google Keep

planning
isn’t enough
