Thanks for our note.  You might have notice...</title><content type='html'>Erik,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for our note.  You might have noticed I added your question to my latest post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&amp;#39;s what I do:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I make sure I am capture ready.  You may have a 50K idea in the grocery store.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I typically process the ideas into...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- checklists&lt;br /&gt;- Questions I like to ask myself&lt;br /&gt;- Active projects&lt;br /&gt;- Someday projects&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also have a few journals I keep.  I should probably start one 50k journal but I have not done that yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find the capture process an important part of the 50k thinking.  You capture things that have your attention.  Once you have a bunch of these items it starts to paint a picture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you start to see the picture you can ask yourself:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Is this the direction I want to head?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If yes, great.  Continue capturing...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If no, why not.  Continue capturing...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope this helps and adds to the discussion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mike</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3800395274918718811/1967589687245257975/comments/default/3575094227697962065'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3800395274918718811/1967589687245257975/comments/default/3575094227697962065'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zonebyzone.com/2009/12/eoy-vacation-trip-to-higher-levels-of.html?showComment=1262107763931#c3575094227697962065' title=''/><author><name>Mike Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02146101224081919093</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_FhM7fbb3UHI/R1LBCl7ggmI/AAAAAAAABHk/ahL0GOoB4zE/S220/Mike+blog+pic.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.zonebyzone.com/2009/12/eoy-vacation-trip-to-higher-levels-of.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800395274918718811.post-1967589687245257975' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3800395274918718811/posts/default/1967589687245257975' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-429822651'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800395274918718811.post-4147492417575368764</id><published>2009-12-29T07:41:35.193-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-29T07:41:35.193-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Mike, I have been loving the recent updates.
