I carry around this tiny notebook everywhere I go and just write down any thought worth remembering. It’s helping me stay off my phone. There are pages full of what would’ve been tweets when I was more chronically online.Theres a lot of quotes from books I’m reading or substack articles. Sometimes it’s just lists of tasks like “remember to refill prescription”.
i forget things easily when I’m working because everything is in constant motion. So I jot down little notes so I don’t forget what I need to do. I think this was from like a year ago? Most of my notes look like this (Wouldn’t be a Los note without the misspelled words too, if you follow me on here y’all know I misspell shit all the time).
Can instill wonder and inspiration. The flavor of a candy you like, an article of clothing you love, various trinkets displayed at your place, etc. Doesn't have to be positive either. an annoying habit of your boss, a wet sock, something that made you cry, and so on. It helps that we have the notes app ready at our fingertips for all things bullet points and incomplete/passing thoughts. The more trivial it is, the more room it'll give you to explore your creative abilities and return to if unfinished.
