Going through Samsung Notes to ensure I transfer the correct weird bits and blurbs of ideas I've frantically typed throughout the last months/years for potential development into WordPress posts via the excellent Jetpack app for Android.

(I know I *could* write these blurbs directly in Jetpack, but the thing is, not all my notes would necessarily be turned into blog posts, as some are just random notes to myself).

Anyway, the reason for my semi-obsessive note taking is a creativity-related concept I've been grappling with for 30 years now.

Throughout the years, I've found that no matter HOW great and memorable your idea is, you will NOT remember it later. There are exactly two paths. You need to 1) write it down AS SOON AS YOU THINK OF IT, so you can remember it and enjoy it or scrap it later, or, 2) get used to a 'zen' kind of acceptance thing for ideas, to just let them go when you can't remember them later.

The price of remembering an idea is writing it down immediately, wherever you are. Somewhere you can find it.

Or maybe your thing is voice notes, if you remember to check them. I don't like voice stuff. I'm old. I write! 🤣
