Organise Your Ideas as You Go
The  problem  with  side  projects  is  you  won’t  always  have  a  lot  of  free  time  to
work on them.
You  must  be  able  to  access  your  research  and  ideas  for  your  side  project
quickly and easily. A dedicated file on your computer is a great way to do this.
That said, hand-written notes work too.
I keep a file on my computer for each side project, which contains my ideas,

conversation snippets, photographs, outlines and more.
When  I  think  of  something  and  don’t  have  access  to  this  file,  I  write  down
the thought and put it with the rest of my ideas for my side project at the end of
the day.
I also reread each of these ideas at the end of the week to see what I’ve got.
It  takes  only  a  few  minutes,  but  it  saves  me  hours  of  combing  through  old
research later on.
I feel confident knowing my research is organised and that I can focus on the
most important thing – whatever is in front of me.
