Ways I store my #Startup Ideas ( Thought Processes ) .. ! ( This is very bad though )

Hey Guys,

Small Intro : I am Sistla Abhishek, working on a product that I am sure will rock the World ( Every Business guy will tell you the same thing !! ). In this small post, I want to let you know how I do it.

Also, I want the RH Community to take an active part in the discussion and come up with something which all of us can use and improve our Productivity / Efficiency !

Being a Startup guy, ( You and ) I have a lot of ideas and we need to be able to actually store them somewhere. Let me list out whatever the hell I am talking about .. !

Applications / Methods to Store an Idea – Efficient or Not .. You let me know !

1. Pen / Paper or NoteBook ( By far the best way to write or store an idea provided you don’t lose the book !)

2. Notes ( Applications – Evernote, iOS Notes, etc )

3. Laptop or a Desktop ( Word, Calc, Powerpoint, Mock Ups, etc, etc )

Note : this is not an idea .. I just opened up a few windows to look like it !
It’ll be more than just FF, Chrome, Calc and SubLime Text !

4. I’ve been talking a lot about Illustrating Stuff but .. I did not ever try a tool like GIMP or Photoshop and .. I am sure in a way ( atleast for me ) that its … umm … bad.

5. Audio Recorder ( Application – On your phone )

6. Make a Video of Myself Talking about the Idea .. ( Hilarious, No way ! – Works in Company Meetings though )

More than an idea which can be added to your notes, I am looking to store Thought Processes ( and Context for that matter ).

A few questions from my side.

  1. How do the Startup Product guys / founders do it ?
  2. How do the guys in the Gaming Business do it ?
  3. After storing an idea, I don’t want to convert the same into a product management workflow.
    For that, I need to think of an idea just like I’d fill a Board on Trello. I dont want that to happen ( An Idea / a thought should be free to flow without any constraints )

Do let me ( & everybody here ) know your thoughts and solutions. All of us will definitely benefit out of this 🙂

Better Ideas + Proper Execution = = Great Products / Companies
