How often do you have a thought that you want to remember and then you go about doing something else and its gone? That used to happen to me all the time. There are so many thoughts that we have throughout the day that may be important. To-dos, boughts of inspiration, random epiphanies and more. Chances are most of these will be just that, thoughts. They will occur and then soon after be gone forever. The solution that works for me is to write these thoughts down. Having to not worry about remembering many things at once frees up brain power for other tasks. Also, especially for to-dos, seeing them written down is a constant reminder that they need to be accomplished. Many people already write things down; they will have their notes app on their phone for recording fleeting thoughts or maybe a to-do list app to help them stay on top of things. For those that know me or read any future blog posts, you will know that I am not a fan of constant connection and try to not rely on technology
