I just noticed how much effort I put into remembering what I was thinking-- I do a lot of "I had an interesting idea about that which I wanted to include-- what was the idea?".
It can take at least 3 or 4 repetitions before the idea finally gets typed out, partly because I might be typing or formulating something else and then want to get back to an earlier idea.
I'd be amazed if I were the only person here with this problem. Any suggestions? Does dual n-back help?
Write a reminder down the moment an idea appears. And then (in a few days, maybe) write it up in more detail, even if as a throw-away, to elicit deeper understanding. This technology helps me tremendously.
