One of my most joyful tasks every week is emptying out my Evernote inbox.
During the week I fill my inbox with screenshots, pictures, quick little notes, things that happen that might inspire a future blog post etc.
I divide the posts over the notebooks I have, ideas for blog posts go to the ideas folder, for the book I am editing go to the book folder, things I want to research to the feed my curiosity folder etc.
I may not go back to those notes in weeks, but I know that they are there when I need them to be there, to inspire my writing or my art.
Opening yourself up to inspiration like that, makes you see that everything is inspiring. A comment someone makes on Instagram could spark a blog post, a picture you take now could inspire a short story, a few scribbled lines could become a poem one day.
Having my Evernote set up in this way makes it a continuous inspiration, a treasure trove filled with sparks that could light up my writing life one day.
What a gift 🙂
