The mystery of forgotten ideas

Still, I think there have been amazing ideas by people out there that were not even written down and now we will never know what they were, though they could've been revolutionary.

I feel like it's the same with dreams: you wake up knowing what happened but in a couple minutes it's all gone. (Personal experience)

Children also often think of great ideas. They don't have as many limits on their imagination as we do yet.

As we get older, our creativity decreases in certain aspects because we know the reality of how things are "supposed to" work and are used to them. But what if we left that behind? What if we actually started breaking down those limits that were set by our environment?

Try to imagine you're a completely different person: from another country, lifestyle etc. and try to think of ideas in a way that they would.

Changing the perspective of how you think can be quite refreshing for your mind. It can help think of ideas you wouldn't have thought of otherwise.

Doing something with your ideas is important or else it will always just stay an idea.

This doesn't mean that you need to completely think out every idea you get, but if you genuinely like it, do something with it.
