Do you want to be an idea machine?

The concept of 10 ideas a day isn't mine.

I borrowed it.

But if the brain is a use it or lose it option, then the science behind it makes sense.

The basic plan is this.

Write down 10 ideas every single day.

They can be about anything.

And there's no such thing as a bad idea.

Let me give you an example.

I think the Covid Crisis created a glut in commercial real estate space.

Why?

Because suddenly, millions of workers were forced to work from home during the quarantine.

Big giant corporations found out that half of their non-essential workforce is just taking up space at the office.

They realize they don't need as much "space" since their workers can do the job from a home office.

This opens up a world of opportunity for:

Home Office Design

Home Office Supply

Supply redevelopment

and what to do with all that office space in the buildings downtown?

See, companies can save money with work from home employees or a remote work force.

And since things might be tight and they are looking for ways to cut costs, they will stop renting office space.

Which puts a lot of space on the market. (supply)

What are ideas you could do with now vacant whole floors of buildings?

My idea was convert it into loft living space.

A loft is a simple concept.

Just a box of bare walls, and floating walls to create private space for bathroom and bedroom.

Can you imagine a tenth floor loft looking out over the city skyline in the Simmons Bank Tower?

Or what the sudden influx of 500 new residents would do to the downtown restaurant scene?

What else could you do with now bare commercial space in a strip mall?  (retail is going out of business)

That's the plan behind 10 ideas a day.

Just come up with stuff.

It doesn't even have to be business.

What are 10 ideas for a fun birthday party.

What are 10 ideas for a fun date?

What are 10 ideas for a themed dinner?

There are literally no limits to what you can have ideas about.

And the more you practice this (once per day), the easier it gets.

What are 10 ideas for a college entrance essay?

What are 10 ways to save the environment?

What are 10 ways to remove invasive species? (pythons)

What are 10 ideas to bring back a beloved tv show?

It's easy to get started.

Just use one page per day in this notebook.

Then every day for a year, just write down 10 ideas.

If you go back and check, this article has 11.

Just from writing to you for seven minutes.
