: Re: How do you keep track of projects/ideas until you have time to write them down? I've read the answers to this question but they focus on getting ideas written down pretty much as they occur,

Tell someone. The act of speaking (or writing) an idea will reinforce its memory.

You can tell whoever you happen to be with. Or call someone and leave them a message. Or call yourself and leave a message (but that would fall into the methods you've already considered I'm sure).

If you can only tell yourself, do it, just say it out loud.

If you're somewhere where you can't say it out loud, or write it down, then rehearse it in your head as if you were saying it out loud or preparing to write it down. Try to say at least a couple key words out loud. Mouthing or whispering them also works.

I can imagine places where you wouldn't be able to stop and write. Maybe you get your best ideas in the shower, or during your morning jog, or while driving, or in a meeting at work where you're supposed to be paying attention.
