Inspiration – Where Does It Come From?

Where does your inspiration come from?

Inspiration is a funny old thing.  I’ve sat down at my laptop to write a blog post because I do it every week.  Yet every week, the minute I sit down my mind goes blank and I get writers block.

Yet, every week inspiration is everywhere.  Sometimes I notice it, sometimes I don’t.  Sometimes I even think “there’s a blog post there”.  And this is where I should learn my lesson and simply make some notes as I go along my daily business.  I nearly always have a small notepad with me so it wouldn’t be difficult.

My next steps are to get more creative about those inspirations.  I love beautiful notepads, I can’t go into Paperchase without spending a small fortune and I just love those blank unused pages waiting to be scribbled in.

I’m due to sit down and do some business planning during this month.  So mindmaps, spider diagrams, sketches, words, lists, brainstorming will all come into play.

So this week I’d love to hear about two things from you:

What habit do you need to change?

What methods do you use in your planning?
