Hi fellow Hiveians,

Today I wanted to talk about not writing down a few post ideas, and how it's annoying haha.

Unwritten Dust

Am I the only one who has a great idea I am thinking about, but then doesn't write it down?!

I know that over time, some of the things I've done and made changes for have really been a good benefit. One of those changes that I've made has been writing down my post ideas, so that I can prevent myself from forgetting them later!

Sometimes lately though, I find myself coming up with a unique idea in the middle of the night, or just before getting up and I don't write the damn thing down.. and then it's gone hahaha. Even if I say "I will write this down in 5 minutes" it is likely not enough. It's gotta be almost immediate otherwise it won't happen.

I've been really good about writing down my post ideas for over a year now, and I've got a decent little catalog of unwritten posts. The challenge for me is I have to be in the right mood for a particular topic otherwise it just won't flow properly, and I don't want to put out a garbage post for something that I should have waited for the right mindset to do.

Lately I've been thinking about some of these post ideas at random times, mostly in the evening or at night and I don't have my phone around me, or my phone is turned off. That makes it a problem to write the thing down. I know I could likely find a piece of paper or pen but then I gotta turn on a light or something in order to actually write. Yes those are excuses, and they are my best ones :D.

I've realized that I've had a few post ideas that I was noodling on, that ended up slipping through the cracks. I was coming up with them, fleshing out the idea and then I realized that I was going to forget it because my phone was turned off. This was kind of annoying because it is always when I am lying there trying to fall asleep that something comes to me, but I don't want to turn on my phone and wake myself back up. I don't necessarily have trouble sleeping, but I do have challenges where if I fuck up the pre-sleep process, all hope is lost for a few hours hahaha so that sucks.

I had two ideas that I remember I wanted to make sure to get into a post, and both of those ideas are gone. Sometimes I do remember them later on, but often times I don't. They tend to be spur of the moment type things, where I've got a specific topic in my head from the days events or something like that, and I find it would be interesting to write about. If I don't keep track of it immediately, then I don't have a good chance of remembering that later!

What about you, do you get frustrated because you think of something good, either for a post or something different, but forget to write it down? Let me know in the comments!
