My husband is always trying to tell me to only take on one thing at time....lol never going to happen. I have learnt so many amazing tools for life with the Alex Jeffreys course it's amazing. I can finally figure out how to achieve everything with mindmapping, brainstorming and simply being better organised and focused, it's great. Thanks for the comments. Cheers Mel Hey Josh,

A bit lazy perhaps but there are only so many hours in the day, haha! David Hi Mel,

I also actually find that making notes at the end of the day (last 30mins of the day to write my ideas down etc) as well as planning tomorrow today actually helps me wind down and sleep better too! I guess its a bit quieter up there in my head when I have everything written down and nicely orgaised :) Hey Melanie,

Good post :)

The key to a good brainstorming session is to just write down whatever ideas come up, without judgement. Then as you suggest, go back later and evaluate each idea. You will also find that as you go back over your list, this will often spark new ideas. However you may also find that ideas will continue to flow well after your brainstorming session. So make sure you carry a pen and paper with you so you can record them. Keep up the great work, Rob Well said Mel.

The initial idea is to throw anything you can on a piece of paper or board.Then use a tool called IN or OUT of the box to start to sort the ideas out into can do stuff and cant do stuff. Then you can use a matrix to determine how hard or costly something would be to implement or how easy and cheap...... All sounds very boring but its a great way to sort your ideas or plans out. Anyway see you in the training rich Hi Melanie
