Now it’s either full sentences, or nothing again.
I get around this by being unable to read my own writing
Only tangentially related, but when I was a kid I’d write stream-of-consciousness type stuff in a “code” consisting of the first letter of every word. Whenever I run across one of my old notebooks, I spend some time trying to decipher it, generally without much luck. Sometimes it’ll spark a bit of remembrance, like dipping madeleines in tea.
Today while entering my bathroom I was repeating the word toothpaste to not forget what I came for lol
Just don’t let your brain trick you with the old switcheroo. I would be tickled by the thought that tooth paste sounds like fool’s haste and before I know it I’m repeating that. Until I stop suddenly, scratching my head and wondering what I was trying to achieve in the first place.
I’ve learned over the years at school and everything afterwards that notes are basically write-only. No point trying to decipher them afterwards.
I’ve absolutely done this… I put a tag on my bag I bring to work that just says “dumbass!” If I need to remember to take something with me or do something after work.
Sometimes I’m just like “yeah… Dumbass… What thing were you supposed to do, dumbass?” Lol
