Where do you keep your thoughts and notes?
I kept mind in a little notebook I got on sale for 50p. It was blue with a picture of a dandelion on the front and it was full of ideas, plans, lists and notes. And I left it on the train.
Realising I left it behind I ran back from the tube to the train, but it was too late. In that 10 minutes it was gone. That same day I broke my phone’s screen and I felt completely lost.
Actually my head was spinning from this and I stopped writing and blogging, I couldn’t think straight. I was very annoyed and angry.
So… Over a month later, how do I feel about this?
Well, it took me sometime to accept it was gone. I had some health problems this month too and refocused on seeing my friends and family. I feel like I am making less notes and paying more attention, I don’t trust my notebook as much. As I let go, I realise things are coming back to me, snippets of things I heard at talks I noted down, come to mind when the ideas are touched upon, but I also don’t miss many things, themselves. I think some things possibly weren’t important for me, but I worry there is stuff I have forgotten that I need to know!
My phone’s screen has finally been fixed, but the keys aren’t working properly, so I have to take it to the shop again. I really miss going on twitter on the go.
I don’t have a super-human memory, so I guess I need ideas of tools. Well a 50p notebook is easy to replace, but not the thoughts inside and I can back-up a phone, but buying a new one isn’t so practical for me right now… so what to do?
