RE: The Thought That Got Away

in Reflections3 months ago

Regretfully I have these transient thoughts a lot with my cognitive issues. That's why I have to write (type) things out when they come to mind immediately or will forget them most likely. It makes for a bad habit of jumping out of bed in the middle of night when I have a thought that I like and want to not forget.

I think you have better habits than most. I'd waged most of us get an amazing thought, think something like "I should write that down. Hmm.. but there's no pencil handy. Ah, I'm sure I'll remember it" and then we instantly forget 🤣 I know that's me. If you are making a habit of forcing yourself to jot your thoughts down, you are ahead of the game. Luckily these days I always carry around a small notebook and force myself to write down random thoughts. Even then, I often don't.

I guess it is a good thing I do it, but its because my memory is shit town.
