But most days I need to leave my desk at some point, and I may be gone long enough that I can't necessarily plan all the tasks I'll work on while away. read more »

Capturing thoughts

direwolf | Nov 9 2007

Quite often, I find myself doing something when other thoughts pop up that really need capturing.

Stopping whatever I'm doing to write this down / record it / whatever feels like I'm not being fully efficient doing what I was supposed to be doing in the first place. My mind tends to skip about quite a lot. Sometimes it simply isn't practical to stop what I'm doing to capture (or even carry capture tools), which leads to, 'will I remember this ?' anxiety.

Anyone been through similar & found a method that helps ?
