H is for… Hatch
The Hatch Notebook is a project/ideas notebook from two tumbleweeds designed to help you “hatch” your ideas by organising, evaluating, planning and executing your ideas. This notebook is specifically designed for makers and entrepreneurs – so if this sounds like you you may want to check this one out.
The 3 step system
This notebook is a system to brainstorm, keep track of your ideas, evaluate their merits, decide which ones to pursue, and then plan and execute. The notebook includes 3 sections: Conceive, Incubate, and Hatch. Each section helps break down your ideas into realistic pieces and action items.
- Conceive – generate and organise your ideas
- Incubate – evaluate your ideas for feasibility and personal excitement levels
- Hatch – develop an idea into a fully formed concept. plan action items and execute.
