when you have a great idea, do you write it down? when you have a great business plan do you write it down? Do you make sure you get it out of your head onto paper so you can take those ideas and turn them into real life dreams come true?

I am always writing down my thoughts and plans for today and for the future. Some of them happen to get fulfilled or come true and others not. I think if it is meant to be, it will be and if not, it won't ever I guess. I never give up trying though.

i love that never give up trying. and planing and writing does make it seem like you are on your way to having those thoughts come true right before your eyes

Thank you. I just cannot let myself stop trying. I think one day it will pay off, if not for me, for someone else close to me.

When I think of something important or a way of handling a particular issue/problem/task, I write it down. Sometimes they work after further discussion with my hubby and other times they don't. As for business plans, I only did that once in my life with my ex, helping him get started with his own fashion business, and even though it started off well, i think it came down to lack of experience and funding that made the whole project fail. At least we tried!

if you tried then you can't fail. lack of planning and as you said experince keeps you from doing it. not believing in your plan keeps you from making it happen. you can only fail if you don't try!!

I always write it down. Sometimes I have an idea and I don't remember it 2 days later. I learned hard way to always write it down for later use.

when i am on to a hot idea or plan i write it down, go back to it again and again. but if i need bread from store, i write it down and then forget to read it before i get in the house.

I agree, 34momma. One of my favorite books is called "Write It Down Make It Happen" by Henriette Anne Klauser. I've been following that practice for years!

Writing it down is one of the first things you should do! Write it down, plan it out, put it all on paper and analyze each corner of it. By writing it down, you are able to better visualize it's creation. One step leads to another, which leads to another, which leads to being able to see it come to fruition. Where you been Momma?

When I have a great idea I usally don't write it down. If i do write it down, half of the time I won't even follow up on it.I know I probably have missed out on something because of this.

i always want to! im so bad because i always forget things too. ill think of this really good idea that i want to work on (usually a design idea i want to put in my sketchbook that i have been desperately trying to keep but never get things into it) so i think of something and then im like oh its so good ill remember it later. and then i dont. and then i keep not writing things down. its a vicious cycle! i need to make a point of writing things down though.
