I quite often wake up in the middle of the night with ideas. Ideas for exciting developments at work, ideas for possible tech start-ups or web services, ideas for things that excite me about the future and what I could do.

While I flesh out these ideas in my head down to sometimes very detailed levels I usually end up forcing myself to go back to sleep so I’m not totally drained for the next day and forgetting something important about the idea because I did not catch it when it was fresh.

If there was one thing I would like to start doing to start pushing my leadership to management ratio up to the apparently prescribed 80% leadership/20% management it would be to perhaps start an ideas journal or sketch book.  Something that I can keep next to my bed so if the midnight ideas train starts rolling I have something I can capture these ideas with so that I can more fully explore and expand on this untapped well of ideas and visions on the possible future.

A quick trip to the stationary shop may be in order soon.
