i tend to lay in bed at night thinking of all the things that i must not forget todo as well as if i can not sleep, i will get up and write things down so that i do not forget todo or get things that i need when i go shopping.Then when you look for the bit of paper that you have wrote things down on, you have forgot where you have put the bit of paper.

I do both methods that you mentioned. I usually have ideas when I'm relaxed or when I'm laying in my bed. Sometimes, I have pen and paper nearby since they are times when I forget something that I thought of. Other times I keep the idea in my head and let it swim around or form connection to what I already know. Then, I do jot these things down.

I find that there are times when i write things down on a bit of paper so that i do not forget things.Then when i have wrote things on abit of paper then i forget where i have put the bit of paper that i have wrote on, rather than defeating the object, after a few days i find the bit of paper and it is a case of better late than never.

Nope I don't write things down. It's only when I have a lot of things to do, then I'll write it down but that doesn't occur many times. My memory is quite good so I make use of this ability to do things, haha. But then, I find that writing things down makes you remember it better, rather than racking your brains hard just to remember that one thing. Hmm...but anyway I still prefer utilizing my memory

I am like you in that I do think all the time about the things I should forget and sometimes I actually do go through the process of writing things down but most of the time I don't and yes I end up forgetting important stuff. The times that I do write things down I am lucky if I ever see the paper again that I wrote on!

I am a list writer as well.
I can't say that I get to the point of getting out of bed to write things down...I just try to remember in the morning.
I usually don't loose the list either, because I keep it in the same place.

I like to write everything down that goes through my head. I just started a journal and it's like my Godsend. I can get a lot of things off my chest without having to make any sense, or without having to call up a friend and loan their ear from them. lol. I also like to write my schedule down and I also like to write to-do lists to keep things organized with what I need to do, etc. So yes, I like to write thigns down - it definitely helps me stay focused and get things done!

Being a writer by profession, I write everything down from stories to articles to keeping a journal. I find that it is an excellent way to clear my thoughts and keep myself sane. It's also a great way to remember things and help calm yourself when emotional. I find it very therapeutic.
