Completing Your Half-baked Ideas

Do you have 10 or more half-baked ideas, projects, or other creative endeavors lying around? Here is an idea that will help you move some or all of them forward within the next 12 months.

1. Create a notebook with a page for each idea. Give each page a number, corresponding to days in a month. In my case, I have at least 31 half-baked goodies, so I've got 31 pages, or one per day. You may care to focus on fewer ideas and visit them more frequently.

2. Each day open up to your idea for that day and commit to spending at least a half hour working with it, thinking about it, writing, planning, outlining or anything else you can do to move it forward- even if only slightly.

3. You will do this for 12 months or until the project is complete.

Here is an example of how this system is working for me: I want to have more fun in my life. So, on the 10th of the month, I turn to my " "Fun" page and spend half hour or more brainstorming and researching ways to have fun with my friends, family, clients and so on. I also schedule outings, call for tickets, invite a friend and so on during this time ensuring some fun stuff happens. At the end of 12 months, I will have many fun experiences and new ideas to play with.

In this same way I am working on articles, future books, workshops, retreats, marketing, business plan and much more. This is a way to get me started and also a guarantee that I will revisit my ideas at least once a month. Some of them might even be completed this year!

Moving forward at the speed of Tortoise
