And I Forgot

I had an idea for a fantastic discussion to post here, like a real discussion!
But I was in bed, trying to fall asleep. We all know the shower is the best place for brilliant ideas to strike, but the bed is no joke either.
I could have used my phone to write it down but I was trying to avoid the blue light that interferes with sleeping. I thought repeating it a few times in my head would have helped me remember.
Unfortunately, that didn't work.
It was a great topic to discuss and it didn't involve politics nor religion, it was perfect!
I only remember how amazing it was, but not WHAT it was. 
Lesson learned, I suppose.
What now? Shall I talk about my dinner? I had fried eggs.

@AmbiePam Thank you! I had the same model in another post, about reading books. It's a penguin. I found it on an Easter egg. It's cute and a pleasure to work with.

hahahahah! I know how you feel. Lesson learned keep a pen and paper with you, you can write down a summary or keyword even if your eyes is closed, it works for me.

I think we have probably all did that. You could maybe put a notebook by the bed and write a few notes about it

@wolfgirl569 Yeah, I'm sure many can relate. And really, I won't miss the chance of creating the best discussion of the year ever again.

@rakski I wish my meals were exciting enough to be worth sharing, but I know it's a popular topic here no matter what.

@RasmaSandra That should work, except... how do you write in the dark?

@somewitch I have a clock with an LED light that gives just enough to see what I jot down or I get up to switch on the light, Of course you can also have a night light,

Smart phones have a built-in blue light filter that you can turn on. I have mine set to sunset to sunrise. It gives the screen a cooler redish tone and reduces eye strain at night.

@somewitch Like I said, you can set it and use it only at night. It'll help if you do need to use it during the overnight hours.

@kaylachan I got rid of it because I was tired of the reddish tone, but it might be a good idea to turn it on just during sleep hours.

@kaylachan Okay, I just set it up. Past 1 AM should suffice. Thank you!

@Shiva49 That's true! Then I got ideas about projects that don't necessarily involve myLot I could share, but I'm always afraid someone could steal my ideas. But I don't write them down elsewhere either, so they go forgotten.

@somewitch Do you mean to take notes on your phone?

@nela13 Yup, that sucks. 
I won't let it happen again, hopefully the night mode/red light thing on the phone won't mess with my sleep.

To me;ideas rarely strike my mind.Often I think lying on my bed in a completely dark room.My last discussion was started two or three days back.It had received some responses.Now I want to start another discussion;but have no ideas.

@somewitch My problems are;lack of sharable ideas and;if I have one;how to write it in a easy to understand way.English is not my native language.I think in Hindi and then try to translate it in English.You can understand;it is not easy for me.

@somewitch I don't use any tool.I don't know how to use AI either.Here on mylot wee use very simple language.That's why. I don't have any problem unless and until it comes to initiating a discussion.Some of my friends use AI.I'll learn from them.

@Shivram59 I've also been struggling with creating new discussions lately, and sometimes it isn't even due to a lack of ideas. It's just that I can be a bit of a perfectionist and sometimes topics require a lot of effort to be written down, and I'm feeling lazy at the moment.

@somewitch Yes, this is a good idea. Or maybe the idea will come back later.

@dya80dya Yes, it's so frustrating! I should probably lie to myself and tell myself that the idea wasn't as good as I thought it was at the time.

you should carry a little notebook with you so you can write down your thoughts.

@aureategloom I got two problems with notebooks: I'm a bit of a perfectionist and I want them to be tidy - and always fail at it - and I'm afraid someone might be too nosy and read the content. It would be great otherwise, it would also make me think less as my hand would get tired if I were to write most of my thoughts.

@aureategloom Really, I've seen pictures of cursive cyrillic, my scribbling is tidier than that.

@grenery8 Oh, awesome! 
Glad to help.
The idea hasn't come back yet, maybe I should indulge in some extreme brainstorming.

That happens to the best of us. I usually find mine popping back in when I am not trying to think of them.

@snowy22315 No luck so far, no matter how much I do NOT think of it.
But it's okay, more ideas will pop up.

@thelme55 It doesn't seem I'm going to remember any time soon, maybe it wasn't as good as I thought. That can also happen.
Why would I use apps such as MyFitnessPal when there's myLot where I can track my diet?
