Thoughts disappear suddenly

Hello, Thousands of ideas come to me for beautiful scenarios, but they suddenly disappear and become faded in my eyes. I need an expert opinion.

Does it happen to you as it happens to me?

What i should do in this case?

Carl Crosby

Yes, I think that it is common. what I do is have a note pad by my chair and by my bed and as the thought comes to me I write them down so I do not forget about them. Or you could carrier a pocket recorder and just record yourself and then transcript them to your computer when you get the chance. Hope this helps.

I'm no expert, but think of this - any idea that lingers in your mind quite a lot it's probably worth developing. Human brain is designed in a way so it's impossible not to think, hence impossible not to receive dozens ideas at once and all of them might be beautiful. Only the ones that linger are worth an effort.

I use the voice memo app on my iPhone to record ideas, or I jot them down in the notes apps. The trick, however, is to remember to go back and review them.

As far as I see it, when an idea lingers, that’s the one to go on, but that takes some patience. First see how you can generate more details to go along with the idea. If it falls into place you probably have a project to work on. If it doesn’t, like others said above, jot the ideas down and move to the next.
