Big Idea Energy

I read about this idea earlier in the summer and saw the bookmark again. Instead of writing stories, the person challenged themselves to come up with five story ideas per day with an idea streak.

This appealed to me because coming up with an idea is easier than executing an idea, but you may have more energy to take the next step if you have a lot of good ideas.

For story ideas, you write down the plot you would like to read. What kind of story would really excite you if you were in the library, trying to choose a book? But this could also work for work ideas, packed lunches, or ways of letting someone know you care about them. You sit down and jot down five things every day, and at the end of the month, you have 150 – 155 ideas (except in February). Brilliant.
