Do you write down the ideas when you think of some interesting topics?

and post it later on mylot? I have been doing that lately when I can think of some interesting topics that I want to talk about, then I will write it down on a paper first and post it on mylot after I reply to the discussions that I started the day before; I think it is good so that I can think of more wha tI want to talk about and type them all together and I won't forget. Do you do the same thing as well?

I have ever done in that way, but finally I found these are useless. I don't think it is necessary to do so each time. I'd rather to read others' interesting topics.

yes, I do type the ideas and save them in my pc often. Sometimes I am unable to do it because of the situations and most of the times I forget the ideas.

If I get some better ideas when I am online, I used to think as that 'we have to start the discussion regarding this' like that. But I will forget them when I am in front of the computers.Then I started to make a note on a paper and some time, the paper itself will be missing. After that I started to make a note in my mobile, if I get some ideas. After few days. I felt of boring making notes as it is irritating to make a notes with the moblie. Now I am not doing any thing and I will try to keep it in my mind. If I am able to recall it, then I will start the discussion.Else,. nothing. Most of the time, I will forget.

well,i have not done it so far, but it seems to be an interesting idea. sometimes, i would think of posting something and then forget about it later. but, noting down definitely helps. i think i will try and start doing it from now on. i have generally been an instinctive person and do things on the fly. i think i should start planning things a lot more in general.

That's a good way. I do that too some times. I have a note pad on my computer desk. So, when I come up with some nice topic, I would note it down. Otherwise , it would fly away, nobody would know where ! Ha ha !

Hello mermaidivy, I seldom post a discussion as I find it hard to think of a good topic. My ideas always come at the wrong time especially when I am ready to call it a day or when I am busy doing some difficult house chores. Once it came when I was ready to sleep and it made me wide awake for a couple of hours, thinking hard to draft the discussion before I fell asleep. When I woke up, I couldn't remember a thing about it!

I do! I usually always have a paper and pen handy and whenever I see something that I think would make a good discussion on mylot I do jot it down so I won't forget to post it once logged into mylot. I also tend to write down any questions I have that I would like to use for discussions.

Do you writing down interesting topics? yes my friend, I have just recently started doing it like that. Usually I just write it down from off the top of my head but then I find that i have times where I'm just sitting here thinking about what to do next. I realize that I am wasting a good amount of time when I'm just here thinking, what to do next. So I figure it's best if I write the ideas down on paper first, when they first come to me. Then post them and I will be making better use of my time. Great topic my friend, keep up the good work.

You know, I actually do this too! I started because my mind would be racing on a given topic --as usual -- and so I would think, "Wow, that's a good discussion started for mylot." Then when I would sit down at the computer I couldn't remember what it was... so I started writing down the questions!

I write a lot of articles, so I have pads of post it notes all over the house, and even in the car, though obviously I don't write anything while driving! Whenever I get an idea for an article or a discussion topic, I write it down so I don't forget. I also have one by the bed, as I seem to get most of my best ideas either just as I'm dropping off to sleep or when I'm half awake in the morning. The main thing is, you are taking the trouble to think of topics instead of posting the first thing that comes into your head. If only more Mylotters were like that!

yes. i always write ideas when i think of something intereseting. because ideas come in an instant or should i say will pop-up in your head in no definite period of time. you must write it down because the ideas may go and gone and no matter how much you think of it, you cannot remember it..

Yeah, i do. I do type it down on my phone though. I don't really bring me some real notes so i rely on my phone. Sometimes interesting topics just pop in my mind so i should write it down or i might forget it and get lost again. It takes time for me to remember them again. Not because i have low memory lol, but because i have a lot of things in mind that the rest are stored on my short term memory then eventually discarded.

Hi there no i dont write down ideas in a note whenever i have in my mind. Sometimes when i am taking a shower there are ideas that comes to my mind and i said that i will write it later in mylot or other related sites of mine. But the funny thing is that when i am working already in the site i dont remember it. So i guess you have a better idea i might do it now hahah ... Till here, keep on posting good discussion, happy mylotting

I am doing that. I have a notebook for mylot discussions. Usually before bedtime i will just go and write the ideas that gets in my head and post them the next day. If i cant post them the following day, i still have them so i can always bring my notebook whenever i go in front of my computer and visit mylot. I think its helps when i write, because i easily forgot the ideas when i am already busy on something. To me its the smart way not to lose those bright ideas that came to my mind. Our brain cant remember all the ideas all the time, we cant even work out what to say at once, so this is a great thing to do. Its been a month that i am doing this. Its perfect, it helps me to sleep too. I just place a glass of milk and pieces of biscuits and im ready to go writing ideas. Hey mylotters, you can do it too. Its always good anytime, anywhere. Sometimes when i am in the fast food eating my favorite burger, i still go write things. Happy mylotting and smile always!

I write down some things that are interesting I think about. But usually, I forget to write it down, and I forget what the topic was later. =P

I think that is a good idea. The soonest you think of an idea to write about here in myLot, better write it down or else you will tend to forget it. I have not been doing that thing and thank you for that , at least it gave me an idea to how I will be able to improve my writing or posting here.
