I will certainly have a listen to that podcast. Idea recycling seems like a great idea. Immediately it triggered thoughts of OpenIDEO, where people share ideas to improve the world based on challenges. Have a look here: https://www.openideo.com/
Yes, there's a lot to be said about the value of sharing ideas, and letting them grow and emerge. Creatives get caught in 'protecting their assets' (understandably, we're constantly getting ripped off), but ideas don't grow when they're hoarded.
I've been following IDEO for a while, but this OpenIDEO branch is new to me. Thanks for sharing, I'll check it out!
Idea Recycling was incredible! (and I'm not a big podcast listener) Bob Goff is an author who talks a lot about writing ideas down as soon as they happen, especially when in conversation. This podcast took that to an entirely new level for me and could be a game changer in my writing. Thanks!
Yep definitely recommend listening to Tiago Forte. He recently released a book called 'Building a Second Brain'. Not yet got round to reading it but I already know it will be great based on everything else I've read of his.
I use an app called Obsidian for taking/managing notes and ideas. It's definitely a game changer...
I’ll check it out! I’ve been an Evernote user for 10+ years but don’t love it for my writing ideas. So everything is a mashup for me from Evernote to Google Docs to files in Dropbox.
I would very much recommend having a digital 'Second Brain', for anyone who works with ideas. There are quite a few 'Personal Knowledge Management' apps out there now: Notion, Evernote etc.
I use Obsidian. Everything just get shoved in there with one or two tags. And when I'm writing/creating something I can quickly just search in the app for things I've noted in the past, rather than searching in Google which is just a little too vast...

Yeah I don't like Evernote either. I hear good things about Notion, but that happened since I started building with Obsidian, which I love.
Also Obsidian is 100% free.
It wouldn't be too complicated to drag and drop everything to Obsidian, and introduce backlinks and hashtags for better synthesis.
Good luck!
If I had a dollar for every “note” I had laying around I might be a millionaire 😂
Never thought of “recycling” my thoughts and how they don’t decay but get better!!!
Cool!

I started watching the Abstract series - I really must finish it!
I think it took me about 3 years to complete the first season (I haven't started on season 2) - it remains relevant to the passing of time!
