Ever tried trying to hard to think of something about, that you can't think of anything at all?
You sit there, and you realize you're not doing anything. You go, "I'm supposed to do something..." and you think. You try to bring up a topic in your brain, but because the current topic is "what to think", other ideas won't come out. And so, you're stuck at zero.
Somehow, an idea comes to your mins. An idea so brilliant that you want to stop whatever you're doing to ponder about it, and you're too busy pondering over it that you don't get to write it down. After you finally arrive at a conclusion of your idea, some distraction takes your attention, and your brilliant idea flies out of your brain.
So you write whatever comes to your mind. You have a notebook especially for spontaneous thoughts. But then, where's your notebook when you need it? When a thought comes to your mind, the notebook's missing. And when you're holding the notebook in your hands, no phenomenal or extraordinarythought pops in your head. Where are they, vacationing?
So you decide to write on a piece of paper instead. But alas! Your paper is misplaced in your room. You fix your room, but after a while, all your spontaneous notes are scattered on the floor! You finally gather them together, but you can't understand your own writing. Some notes you don't even remember writing.
So you decide to put a date on each note. You see one of your notes a few weeks later, and you put it in the trash can, thinking that it's old, and the idea seems pretty corny, anyway. But then, there goes your idea. What'll you do when you need it?
So you decide to read every paper throroughly before putting it in the trash. Your room eventually needs to be cleaned out again, and you have to throw away clutter. You read every paper, and you come across a letter sent to you by an old friend 5 years ago. And you never get to finish cleaning your room. You devise a plan on how to finish this, and you get a great idea. The problem is you can't just write it because it'll get lost in the mounds of paper in your room.
So you write the plan down in your brain. The next day, you remember that you told yourself to do something, but you forgot. You sit there, and you think...
