Using a box to capture blog ideas is the same as setting up a blog 'project' folder and capturing your ideas there. I have a list for @BLOG in my system that is used in the same manner. The key is capturing them in the moment, writing down any ideas asap when they are in your head, and using the capture piece of GTD for your creative ideas. I've lost many ideas over time due to the fact I did not capture them. Good idea and good luck blogging! -Stephen GTD is just common sense – reading Making It All Work helps to understand things better IMHO.

I've got a shoebox mooching about somewhere, so I might as well put it to use.

Everything gets written down and eventually filters into the spreadsheet that I use for my blog. The spreadsheet has separate tabs for different categories (post ideas, post order, roadmap w/ goals and timeline, affiliate products I like, etc). I will eventually end up with a different system, but this works for me now. Oh yeah, I guess that I fall under the second category. I browsed through the GTD system and was afraid, very afraid. :D I do recognize that there are some great concepts in there though, and will probably go back one day and pull out the ideas I like and mold them for my personal use... becoming a member of the third group in the process.

Otherwise I will definitely forget! That email publishes to a blog that nobody but me looks at. I have a email address I send ideas to as I have them. Otherwise I will definitely forget!
