Recently, I was going to write down an idea for a title and lost it before my pen hit the paper (figuratively) very short post) / myLot

I wonder how often that happens to all of us? There's a good reason it happened..I added a sentence to one of my previous posts title before posting it and lost the current idea in the process. Picture is aster from years ago.

@CarolDM I keep them in my phone mostly. Eventually I might need to carry a notepad with me but there's no guarantee that it be able to read what I wrote later.

Some things in okay remembering other things it's best to make a note or two just in case and it's not an age thing either as my kids run into it too. I think we're too busy sometimes.

You may have lost one post however idea. However that has given you something else to talk about.

For today yes. Not necessarily each time it happens though.

Happened to me a couple of time. Open to type the new discussion, then realized it's ridiculous enough to share. I cancel it then.

I've changed my mind on a few ideas but sometimes you just need to change the focus and a whole other idea is right there waiting.

Those titles are so hard to dream up and if I do I usually get distracted by something and completely forget what I had in mind.

If I can't remember the good title but I remember the topic that still works but when both fly out the window that can be very annoying.

That used to happen to me all the time when I used windows computer. I somehow always activated the keyboard command that closed my browser. It doesn't happen to me on Ubuntu. As an aside, I bought a whiteboard just so I don't "lose" ideas to forgetfulness.

I use Evernote and a different note pad on my phone and should have noted my idea down first. But didn't. I thought I would remember it. Sometimes I start a part and finish it later too.

@MarshaMusselman I use the note applications on my phone too, but use the whiteboard for times when my phone is already off and I think of something I want to incorporate somewhere.

That happens to me very often, especially now that I don’t have much to say thanks to the pandemic. Pretty asters! The deer ate all of mine.

If I can get some weed barrier down again this year I might be able to invest in more flowers like I've had in the past.

I lose thoughts all the time and sometimes they never return.

Lol, that's a whole other conundrum especially when we move from room to room. And I don't believe they can be blamed in age as my kids have the same problem.
