Michael Reed
I don’t know if it’s really advice, but I’ve gotten in the habit of taking notes when I see things or have an idea that I think might be amusing, compelling, whatever. I do so immediately, too – or at least as close to it as I can get away with.
They may not turn out to be good notes or even good ideas but at least they are legible these days because I tend to take them on my phone now rather than on the traditional scraps of paper I used to use. I used to just tell myself I’d remember my thoughts if they were good. The truth is, most of the time I didn’t.
