A Quick Tip to Help You Capture Ideas on the Run

Sometimes we find a solution so obvious that we can't believe we haven't been doing it for years. That's totally how I feel about this little trick I've been using to capture all the amazing ideas that come to me when I'm not at my computer. Something about that little blinking cursor and blank white screen totally shuts down the creative side of my brain. But when I'm out walking around my neighbourhood.
