Creative’s Idea Journal
A place to catch ideas before they evaporate, and a structure for working out which ones are worth building.
Capture fast, decide later.
Capture pages are for speed: no evaluating while you write. An idea moves to a development page only once it has survived a week in the capture pages.
The graveyard is where ideas that did not make it are kept rather than thrown away, so they can be revived later. Undated — start anywhere.
Who it’s for.
For writers, designers, makers and anyone else who has more ideas than time and wants a way to sort them.
