I don't have that filing cabinet. I know that if I don't write an idea down, it will likely be lost except for its essence/flavor, but if I can't act on it and write it down for later, it will lose whatever exists about it that works for me. This is only true for certain types of ideas. Believe me, I write TONS of stuff down. Most of the time, the notebook is a good plan. So I say, write. Only certain visions have short shelf lives.lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07410230007560550179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-82316441185607291472008-05-09T06:02:00.000-07:002008-05-09T06:02:00.000-07:00You and your son's commitment to 'before the weath...You and your son's commitment to 'before the weather is right' swimming is admirable. Not only is it good for you but I know how relaxing and mind clearing being in a pool can be.<BR/><BR/>"So, here's the thing--writing an idea down can lead to its death." That is an interesting theory...I guess for you its not a theory because it is proven in your life, but it makes me wonder how that works in the lives of others. I have really been kicking myself lately for not writing my ideas down. I certainly don't devote myself to creative pursuits and yet I still have several ideas, half ideas, seeds of ideas kicking around in my head and I just know some of these get forgotten. Occasionally I'll remember something that I hadn't thought of for a loooong time and then I'll think 'I need to write this down' and never do. If I could only have a mental file cabinet that I could put these in that I wouldn't lose the key to. :)Carl V.
