Small-business question
What if a new idea interrupts the work I am doing?
By Rick Hesse ·
Short answer
The short answer
Capture the thought in its own words before it disappears. Connect it to the current work if it belongs there, or give it a place to wait. You do not have to finish every idea the moment it arrives.
Where this fits in a real small business
In Rick’s lesson, an idea can arrive while he is working on a website or reading a draft. Recording it lets him return to the original work without losing the new thought.
One useful next step
Write down the idea, why it matters, and where it connects. Then return to the task you were doing.
