It seems when I awaken, sometimes in the middle of the night, more often towards the dawn, though, ideas I might have are running through my head with a vengeance—well, maybe not with a vengeance, but with some sort of expectation of some sort of action from awakened me. Which…which may be something I want, or something I don’t want, but, in either case, something that has to be attended to.
Only one problem: On getting up, and getting the computer up, and waiting on it to accomplish its start-up procedures, sleeping mind often, no, usually, finds other things to do than wait around for awake mind to get to the point where it needs to be to take over the job…which brings on the confusion you probably might be noticing right now. Help!
Another “Morningbrain…,” without a doubt.
In searching for a solution, something I really hadn’t given much thought to before, I think maybe a listing would be a good thing. And this listing will necessarily be in handwriting, on a spiral tablet kept on a side table next to the bed. With, of course, a writing instrument of my own selection, one that can be kept with the tablet till circumstance brings them both into action.
I guess that’s about it--except for one modification. Leaving a tablet and pen next to the bed is something that will be too easy for someone (guess who) to pick up just about any time to make brief notes, say a list of things to pick up at the grocery store, which would remove the tablet and writing instrument (a pen will do fine) to a point where it may or may not be available the next time sleepyhead finds the need for same.
So: One modification: A hanging hook, perhaps, like one you might use to keep a note pad at the ready next to the front door?
Should do fine—problem solved, or so I think. Ask me sometime next week and we both will know how it might have worked.
Or if it worked at all!
