Hey everybody chuck me a pm

alrite the question..............

Do you have ideas? like lots everyday... or some one day some the next none the next etc.....

well what do you do with these ideas... It might be something about a newspaper... I guess fromthe analyzing comparing to others. and looking at things differently we apsies get them.. eh... analyzing etc...

AND most importantly do you end up doing them? / do you want to do them...? do you want others to do them...? or can you simple put them aside..........

cheers kiwi aspie

Yea Ive got ideas i usually write them down...

dont end up doin many of them at all...

... when i was a kid i used to say "I got an idea"

lol

so this is aspie trait no?

hmmm....

I guess... I want to start doing my ideas. get routine get motivator. get get get..... lol...

lol but how many can we do...

whats the limit... is their a limit I guess better to have one perfect invention that 20 mediocre ones...
I guess i drift from one to another... find it hard to focuse on one thing.. lol

I picked the one closest to what I do, but I don't usually forget my ideas. Usually I put them down quickly before I forget them, unless it's an idea that would not work out.

Yep! Thinking is dangerous, and can get expensive. Inventors get caught in one Idea, spend years on it, when they should realize that it is not that, it is ideas.

Get a notebook, write them down, one per page, do nothing else. Some grow, go back and write down later thought.

Ideas and doing are seperate. Doing takes time, often years.

The key is do something simple, do it for a while, it will teach you the differance between thought and doing, and when you can think in do, it is a reality check.

I also like non directed doing. Gaining ability leads to using it. Finding out what you can do, then it is natural to think in that. Ability, developed skill, and focused thought.

One thing I have learned about invention, no one has ever heard of the product, used it, for it was just invented. Producing something new is hard, lots of skills to learn. Producing something people already want, is easy, you know what it is, and there is a waiting market.

Having a couple of those you can still dabble in the new, but they pay for it. Put $5 a day toward an idea, for a year, and you will have something. do it right it will pay $10 a day. Put it back in, keep thinking, working at it a little, and in another year, four times as much.

It is keeping ideas like dogs, a little cost, but some puppies that sell, for enough to buy a papered show dog, and those pups sell much better. You are doing the same little work, feeding, but feeding something that pays. 1 to 4 to 16 to 64 to gets fun after a few years.

Now you have to think, invest, do, and it continues. It becomes a habit.

I started printing books, bought better printers, upgraded, and without cost from my pocket, I now have very good printers, and any idea involving print, I have it. So new ideas have no startup cost, little work, and if they work, keep going. Bad ideas recover their cost then stop.

Besides printers and supplies, it also picked up the internet cost, little things I used to spend on.

It is not how much, but persistance. Most of what I do would not make a business, but I have a small world market. For the effort I put in it is great. The position it put me in is a side benefit. I have potential in what I have and know.

Ideas alone are dangerous, but a well kept hobby, can become a business, and you never know where it may lead.

I've had many ideas for years and for a long time (before I was married) I wrote them down, spent months figuring things out, etc...but then, I would normally either not do anything with them or by stupidity, explain to someone at work, if they were work related. And of course, the work related ones have actually been implemented in many ways, however, the dweebs to whom I explained the ideas got the credit...lovely...and because of my personality, well, when I complained I was told I was not a team player, blah, blah...so I've just given up and now if I have ideas, I might discuss with my husband and that's where it ends.

Actually, ONE time at work they did ask all of us for ideas and out of everyone I know (I had about 16 years working with the company, knew lots of people), I was the only one whom our Senior VP contacted to thank me for the ideas and ask me more questions, etc...Well, I figured that if they got implemented someone would call me to thank me or something? Nope. They were implemented within a few years and I never again heard a thing about it. They did not even involve me in the projects to implement them...so other entire teams got recognition for implementing my ideas...

cheers for the replies eh...

put away eh..

I guess i constanly want to find a better way.. a perfect way.. Analysing things.. and altering them. Or perhaps taking the mcdonalds wrapper and hanging it on the wall ( I just made that up.. but its that looking at things differently that aspies do.. twas what i do... hmmm...

ha im studying architecture and ive had some good feedback like my creative ability is amazing.. is nice to know eh hear those things.. pat on backs...

How do you put your creative ability to work?

"Now you have to think, invest, do, and it continues. It becomes a habit. "
Invest in your own knowledge I like that lol.. not somebody eles teaching.. teach one self experiement.... habit forming good idea... yea....
So inventor you print books.../articles?

Yea.. thats tough about your workplace not getting recognition..!

I remember when I was picture framing I had many ideas but simple ones to implement were such things as:
cutting the board vertically then turning the board then cutting again.
= To yea get more boards out of your buck $

seemed so simple. yet they never did it... Other employers were getting jealous of such talents... and tried to make sure i did the "easy" work so I wouldn't work up the work ladder too much.. haha interesting eh.. Guess these stories are typical of aspies?

Ive thought about going into varying workplaces and giving their workplace a boost of ideas new ways of doing things....
what ya reckon bout that? working in their envrionment perhpas analysing current situations looking at similar workplaces.. and yea sha-bang..
Good international aspie job...?

lol...
