I was busy responding to discussions in mylot when an idea came to my mind. I thought, I'll just post it later after responding to comments. Later on, when my eyes landed on the discussion tab, I remembered that I have to post a discussion but I just cant remember what the topic was all about. Have you experienced this too?

Is it called mental block? I experienced this sometimes. That is why all of my discussions are part of my daily life.

Maybe? I also relate my discussions in my daily activities or if I found something really interesting in the net.

@renicemae In that way, it would be a lot easier for me to share a discussion.

@renicemae we call the mental block when we have somehow forgotten the answer to a question asked.i often say that to my students who cannot reply to my question, "you have mental block".

That's why you need to write those ideas down right away. Pause what you are doing, make a note on your computer about your idea and then go about your business. That's what I do. Yes, sometimes I think I could remember what I want to write about. But for the most part I write down my ideas.

Just relax and later it will come back to you. Yes sometimes it happen to me. Maybe we are thinking too many so we ought to forget what we should to write.

correct, we often forget things because our brain is too occupied for many things.

Yes if I don't write things down they often get forgotten. Like they say no time like the present?

I keep my ideas for discussions on my Notepad on my desktop. Best way not to forget.
