Whats a good way to remember something you were just thinking of?

Question

So I came here to ask a question about my computer..or was it a question about my computer, anyway the point is I got lured into that 23 question and I completly forgot what I was thinking of....anyway does anyone have any good ideas to remember what they were thinking of before its completly gone?

Ktd 37, that was a great answer, i actually ended up asking a differnt question and rememberd what I was gonna ask.........but now as I write this....I forgot what the question was again.. /slaps myself

Answer 1

don't try to think about it and it'll come back.

Answer 2

I know this sounds ridiculously simplistic, but it works for me. I try very hard to remember what I was thinking about immediately before the thing I forgot. I try to pick up on the train of thought I was on and get back on the rail, so to speak. I try to remember what I was feeling, looking at, daydreaming about, everything. In essence, I try to mentally time travel back to where I was before I got lost. It's amazing how often I realize where I got off on a side track and am able to get back on the main line.

Answer 3

What I do is go back and repeat the action that I was performing while I was thinking it. That usually does the trick for me.

Answer 4

You could write it down. I have been to the sore before to get one item and could ot remember what it was.

Answer 5

run through what you were thinking before the question came up. think of what it could have branched off of.

Answer 6

eat more of the following: liver, sausage and bratwurst. animal intestines help you build a strong and healthy brain.

Answer 7

at my age..I keep a pen and paper handy and write the things down and put it where I will see it......
