I’ve often stated that my mind likes to drift off and play with thoughts and ideas while I’m driving and today was no different, with a small exception… When I stopped and parked my car, I realised that all these ideas I have, the little thought experiments, are quickly forgotten as soon as I leave my car.
I’m not stating that they’re all incredibly genial, newsworthy or even worth remembering, but shouldn’t I give them more time to blossom (and wither if that was their fate?) To this end, I’ve resolved to keep a notebook in my car, dedicated to recording these fleeting thoughts before I focus on anything else. Who knows, somewhere between the far fetched and the unreachable dreams might lie a great idea that would otherwise have disappeared into the void.
