Great Ideas For MyLot Posts...But Then I Forget!

I seem to always come up with good ideas or subjects to write about when I am in bed a night ready to sleep. By the time i wake up I forget what the idea was and I am back to writing normal somewhat boring posts! I am too tired at night to think of writing it down on a pad, so I guess if it was really a good idea it will revisit me again soon! Does that happen to you often?

@gudheart I should just start putting it as a note in my phone, but even then sometimes I just dont' feel like doing that.

Sometimes someone's post will inspire me but if I don't start on the subject I then forget what it was I was going to write about.

@dpk262006 I have a small table just beside my bed. It's where I place my pen & paper. They are within my reach.

Happens all the time! I try to write down ideas as they occur, both for here and articles I need for other places, but it sometimes looks like gibberish in the morning. I don't know why it's so much easier to be creative when I'm trying to go to sleep!

It happens to me all the time or most of the time. Now, I always grab a pen and paper to just write down the topics or ideas in my mind, then I can write it out when I am using my computer. But, sometimes I also forgot to write them out.

You are not the only one person who has this problem. I think today I may be much more forgetful This is why sometimes I need to write down my "brillian" ideas before I forgot them

Just put a notebook and a pencil next to your bed. You do not need to write down everything, just a few keywords to remind you of the ideas.

Yes, it always happen to me even when I'm awake in the morning but too busy in my store. That time, I forget to write the idea so I can't really remember what idea was that. Sigh.

That happens to be all too often. I seem to have dreams where I am singing a great song that I came up with but when I wake up all is forgotten.

@gudheart Once, I dreamed the plot for the greatest novel ever written. Too bad I could not remember it in the morning.

Occasionally and I hate it when it happens. It always does so when I'm not able to write anything down, and definitely not at my computer.

You need to jot down your idea on a piece of paper or if you have been using a mobile phone, so that when you have free time you could start some interesting discussions. I usually note down a new idea, if it comes to my mind to start a new post.

It would, because this used to happen to me all the time. I keep a note pad next to my bed on the stand, and whens something comes to my mind, I jot enough (couple of words), to keep that thought for the next day, and I also have a pad in my purse at all times where I can do all the time. I am still wanting to write about my birds Ollie and Harriet, but I can't get a good picture of Harriet. :: smiles :: Try the jotting down things Love to you my friend.
