Keep a track of your ideas

Retaining ideas in mind is very difficult, so it’s always ideal to keep a note of your ideas. Thomas Edison, the scientist is very particular about saving his ideas, and he used to keep a note of his ideas in any of his 2, 500 notebooks. Edison’s unsuccessful attempt to make an undersea telegraph cable has led to the development of telephone transmitter.

Intelligent management of time to cultivate big ideas

Tech giant like 3M has given 15 percent of time for their employees to develop their ideas and pursue on their own projects.  According to LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner, entrepreneurs should find time to make decisions on their future moves.

Open to news and culture

Big Ideas come as a part of research, conversations, experience and time. The Broadway musical, “West Side Story” was a story about the rivalry between and Catholics and Jews; but later the creators dropped  the idea of coming up with this musical film when they came to know that Catholic-Jewish tension was dying down.

The idea came back to life when the composer and writer reunited six years later and a saw a newspaper headline about gang fights between California residents and Mexican immigrants in L.A.

"Whether you have a good idea, a bad idea, or maybe an odd notion that’s hard to assess at first,", "success will depend heavily on whether it’s put into a flow of other ideas," write Boynton and Fischer.

Design your ideas when you are engaged with some other works

Don’t wait for the ideas to come to you; generally ideas are generated when you are engaged with some other works. The eureka moment of great mathematician Archimedes can be noted at this instance. He was stuck with a great idea while bathing. Too much of concentration can actually spoil your thoughts, free yourself, and let the ideas flow into you.
