Thoughts That Bubble Up In Your Brain

Don The Idea Guy November 25, 2020

You can’t stop thoughts from bubbling to the surface of your mind (and why would you?). Thought Bubble are your greatest source of potentially successful ideas and projects. When a thought bubbles to the top of your brain, it’s typically been percolating below the surface and finally evolved into a worthy concept that is ready to burst on to the scene and into the light of day.

Thought Bubbles Make Ideas Pop

A thought bubble is usually an idea your subconscious has been working on for days, months, or even years, when all of a sudden some new piece of information or inspiration completed the circuit and triggered its rise to the front of your attention.

Some of those thought bubbles may indeed be ready for the spotlight.
Some may not…
With a little extra work you can polish it up and be ready to present it to a group or committee that can say Yes — make it happen.

But, many of those idea bubbles may not be ready for prime time.
In those cases you will need to decide whether the idea bubble as it currently exists can be developed into a viable concept, or if it’s still just not-quite “done” yet and needs to go back into your brain for further incubation.

Idea Bubbles Make Projects POP

If you decide that an idea bubble is not fully developed, make it a point to schedule time on your calendar that you can devote to actively thinking about ways you can improve or adapt the concept for use.

It’s never an accident when an idea bubbles up to the surface of your gray matter. It may not be immediately obvious, but your subconscious has identified something that it thinks your waking mind needs to be aware of — so pay attention and explore the concept to see what you can do with it.

The Ugly Back

Everyone goes to the museum to admire the pretty fronts of artistic tapestries, but the ugly backs face the wall and are rarely on display. My wife decided she wanted to host a big family Thanksgiving this year. While we were in the process of cleaning up the house and putting our (my) clutter. Hapy […]

My Three Words for 2022

Several years ago I started choosing an annual trio of words to help me stay on track with my goals, focus my actions, and guide my decision making. I copied the practice from Chris Brogan and you can click on that link in his name to visit Chris’ page to read about how he chooses […]

Ideas, Insight

Want hot ideas? Let the tap run.

I’ve written in the past about how I come up with some many good ideas (spoiler alert: it’s because I also come up with so many bad ideas). I’ve also shared how important it is to throw away the first dozen or so ideas you come up with because they’re not going to be especially […]
