It can be hard to think of new ideas constantly, and when you do come up with one, it tends to happen in a very strange, awkward spot.

Keep an always-accessible idea file: one of the best things any writer or blogger can do is start an idea file.

It’s less likely to be spotted than the bulky folder you walked in the door with last week. Sneak some work home without anyone knowing: got a spouse who gets snarky when you bring work home with you?
