A Notable Strategy

This year's exceptional events, including some extraordinary stressors, have required new ways of working and thinking. The upside: stressful times are often a catalyst for new insights. The more unusual the times, the greater the likelihood of new ideas.

But it's important to note new ideas quickly, before losing them in the press of the day. Doing so creates a personal source book for future accomplishments.

Notable, a portable tool for catching and creating good ideas in the moment, is a thoughtful resource that grows in value with each entry. As you use Notable, or give it to others to use, you're reinforcing a practical, generative habit that has fueled the success of leaders throughout time.

The tool you use to capture interesting ideas, insights and information isn't as important as the habit of capturing them quickly. Write, diagram or cut and paste them into whatever type of journal works best for you. Return to these ideas now and then, looking for ways to connect and buld the most notable ones.
