What is an idea book?
An idea book can have several other names — it may be called a journal, a laboratory book or simply a notebook. This notebook is where you should sketch out, write down or record your ideas. Choose a composition book with sewn-in pages. If you use a spiral or loose-leaf notebook, you may lose pages or be tempted to remove pages. You don’t want to do this because you may end up throwing away a really good idea! Also, be sure to use a ballpoint pen to record your ideas. This ensures that you will have a permanent record and removes the temptation to erase a potentially good idea. Sign and date each page in your idea book so you will have proof of the date you recorded the idea or worked on the invention.
