I started to write a post about Project Planning. As I go along, I realise I'm really describing Idea Generation, which feeds into Project Planning. So let's start there. It's important to say there's no right way to do this, and this is my way.

I'm not working today. I didn't want to be off; not that I particularly want to be working either; however, we all want to feel in charge of our own schedule. When you work for someone else, you lose some of that control.

I've been writing in these notebooks for over four years. Most of what I write is the usual notebook fare. What train I need to get tomorrow or a list of things that I should be doing, but aren't. Ironically, one of those things is to write more frequently.
