Any of you guys keep a small memo pad/book or somethin' and always write things down so you don't forget? I have a friend who's a spoken word poet who keeps a memo pad with him all the time so he could write down any verses he comes up with, and he recommended that I get one too. So... I recently bought some memo pads 'cause I wanted to be able to keep track of my ideas for photography/art. In the past, I remember that I may have come up with some pretty crazy ideas, but I'd forget about them after a while.
Ha ha, now I tried writing them all down, and I just can't stop writing. Writing down one idea makes me think of 10 new ones, and so on. I'm also trying to get into the habit of writing down ideas the instance it pops up in my mind. If you don't do this, try it some time! ![]() I had to make this topic before I forgot about it. |

I know what you mean. I don't have an actually note pad but I usually jot down all my details in a cramped note on my sidekick.

^ I don't have enough money to kick it old school. Lol, the irony. And plus, I'd probably end up losing the notepad too.

My blog layout ideas used to always pop up while I'm at home, so I'd sketch them out in my sketchbook... but that was back in the day. I don't get any ideas now. Hence the lack of blog. xD

I do it off and on. I have a stenographer's pad right now -- you know the one with the red line down the middle -- so I can make charts easier, if I want to. It helped a lot when I was profiling bars for my internship.

I do have a little pad that I occasionally write things down on.
I usually think of the stuff right before I go to bed, so it's good to keep it close. |

I don't ever write things down, but I've been tempted to keep a notepad with me. With my luck, the idea would make sense when I was writing it down, but later when I would read it... it probably wouldn't make sense.
