Write Your Ideas Down

Thomas Edison always carried a notebook around with him and was always writing down his ideas. Leonardo Da Vinci did the same thing. Whenever Edison or Da Vinci were stuck or lacked inspiration -- they went back to their notebooks to see if they could come up with any new ideas from the ones they had already written down.

After Edison’s death in 1931, an amazing 3,500 notebooks were found in his home.
