Yesterday. The next time will be today. I keep a small notebook in my pocket at work to make notes for when I am away from the computer and I also write down important numbers and other notes that I may or may not want on my computer where anyone looking over my shoulder can see. (ie, customer is fucking up and will cost themselves a crapload of money which they may try to turn around and blame on us)

Yesterday.

Writing any kind of information is a good memorization aid. Writing requires your brain to consider the information carefully, translate the information into meaningful scribbles, and transfer the scribbles onto paper.

Peruse any of these articles about handwriting as a memorization aid.

I knew that but I did not know that - if that makes any sense. I've frequently made it a point to write things down that I want to remember. It isn't that I will find the bit of paper later on - it is that I wrote it down and remember it because I wrote it down. It has been one of my key memorization aids since... Wow... Err... Since the mid 1960s. I was pretty young when I learned this about myself. I'd never actually looked to see if studies had been done or anything. I kind of figured everyone did it.

This morning. I make a daily to-do list and keep it on my desk.

I always use pencils to write my stories. the pc screen and the keyboard distract me, and make me lose my train of thought. maybe because I associate them with games.

About 10 minutes ago when I jotted down what I ate in ounces on a post it note, so I can enter it online on my food tracker.

Yesterday. Having a planning conversation with the GF, it was easier to work from paper.

Like 15 minutes ago, I wrote down a (probably) pretty important idea.
