We have so many ideas every day. But many of us don't keep track of them. We end up forgetting them. Or overall our ideas are just the same each day.

Ideas Can Be Mixed

Many of my best ideas are ideas that have been mixed with something else. These have made a huge difference in my life. Sometimes we come up with ridiculous ideas for one thing, But they are really good ideas for something else.

Your Ideas Will Improve

I'll sound like James Altucher saying this, But when you keep track of ideas, over time, they will get better.
Your ideas may seem lame or uncreative, But when you are constantly keeping track of them, They'll slowly get better. And more interesting. They can be applied to the aspect of your life that you wouldn't expect and it can start to benefit you in ways you wouldn't expect.
Having good ideas is a practice!

Ideas Aren't Worth Anything

Ideas are abundant out there.
Don't worry if others have the same idea as you; It's all about applying the concepts If you don't use or implement them. They won't benefit you. I guarantee every idea you've ever had, Has been in someone else's head at some point as well, but the only difference is they didn't use the idea.
And heck, Even if they do, You can always go with a slightly different approach. It's like all the meal subscription services, They all are the same basic idea, But each company has their twist, We see Vegan options, Soup boxes, Etc. Based on the wants of different people.

Summary

• Ideas are only worth something when they are used.
• Ideas can be mixed to create even better ideas!
• Ideas will improve with practice, Which is a good reason to keep track of them in a journal, Or lists.
