“For creativity you need your mind to wander, but you also need to be able to notice that you’re mind wandering and catch the idea when you have it.”

So often we have the most amazing ideas but sometimes our plans are only half realized. If we don’t capture key ingredients before they are forgotten or overlooked, our projects won’t reach their full potential.
With PersonalBrain you can leverage the power of visual thinking to make your goals a reality. Here are seven essential steps to making your creative vision a reality. Be sure to download the template Brain and watch the recorded webinar at the end of this blog entry.
“The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.”
- Allan K. Chalmers
During yesterday’s webinar we covered hobbies, legends and fuel for your imagination in your Brain.
We talked about how your PersonalBrain is an unlimited conceptual space where you not only find the right information quickly but are inspired by your best thinking captured and visualized.
Clear Your Mind. Get It Out of Your Head and into Your PersonalBrain.
“First of all, if it’s on your mind, your mind isn’t clear. Anything you consider unfinished in any way must be captured in a trusted system outside your mind, or what I call a collection bucket, that you know you’ll come regularly back and sort through.”
David Allen, Getting Things Done
A central premise of David Allen’s Book and cultural movement, Getting Things Done, is that you can experience a tremendous sense of relief and control by moving your tasks and ideas outside of your mind and recording them externally in a place you can trust and where you will review them regularly. This frees your mind from remembering and allows you to focus on completing your tasks. Capturing and improving your thinking of course is what PersonalBrain is all about.
