Had a light-bulb moment? Write it down...

I can't tell you how many times I've been at meetings, seminars, training sessions or simply in conversation - and heard the famous line - "oh, I thought of that too... exact same idea actually!".

The fact is - that person probably did have the exact same idea... however, the reality is, just as you're thinking of something, you can be guaranteed many others are too.  When you have a light-bulb moment [as so many of us do] - act.  Write it down, assess it briefly, and decide what to do with it.  Don't leave it in the archive of your brain, a hostage to someone else's action!
