Organising Thoughts and Ideas to Strategies

First comes thought; then organization of that thought into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.
– Napoleon Hill

We are always thinking whether we are aware of it or not. Some thoughts catch our conscious awareness and some go unnoticed. It is said that on an average over one hundred thousand thoughts cross our mind every day. Intelligent people catch the thoughts and organize the same into ideas and strategies. The follow-through from the thought stage to the idea stage is very important.

Once the ideas are converted into strategies and action plans, the rest of it is very easy. The problem with ideas is the fact that if not acted upon, they will squelch and disappear. The first thing we should do upon getting an idea is to record the same and set aside some time to ponder over and explore that idea.

The next stage is the transformation of the idea into specific action plan in real life. This is the most important stage in any idea-exploitation process and this stage will decide the productivity of the idea.

Over this weekend, try to recall any good idea you got over the last one month and check whether you can work on the same through the above process.
