Wack61915yDo you remember PDA? Back in the day, I knew every fucking shorthand syntax to that thing, today *stares in blank*

@Wack of course I remember PDA, had a lot, though mainly ones that were marketed as digital eBook readers, with the old SD storage that took half the body of the device haha

Why not record voice notes on your phone? I do that sometimes when I know I'm sure to forget something.

@JoshBent oh, I'm so sorry, totally missed that, sleepy as fuck right now (6 in the morning and I haven't slept yet). I think by the time I got to the latter half of your post I'd forgotten the former, lol. Apologies.
I've tried so many ways for that at night or during walk spark of bug solving ideas:
- fluorescent ink on regular paper
- florescent mini whiteboards
- "alexa remind me.."
- writing down in my phone
- recording on my phone
-..
But all of those due to my short term memory made me forget half the things by the time I opened the fucking phone/app, found where to grab the pen or the whole dance for alexa, to remember the exact phrase I have to spell out, when it should remind me, what time,..
Earlier today I remembered how I had a little tape voice recorder I used to use a ton, thankfully that tech advanced by now and found myself a stereo mic setup little voice recorder that can also act as an mp3 player!
Went for a walk today, while listening to some podcasts, then it hit me as usual on how to fix and implement some things that were awkward at best on paper when I left home, pressed the record button, recorded it and went straight back to music mode, which remembered where I left off!
I'm so indescribably happy, I ordered quite a bunch of the same to just throw around everywhere, at the bed, in the bathroom, kitchen, for walking outside, everywhere haha
