File this under "small wins". I had been banging my head against a technical problem for most of the day yesterday. As I slipped into bed around midnight, I suddenly knew the solution. Despite the call of the pillows, I dragged myself out of bed, down to the laptop and took a full 30 seconds to write it down -- and thank goodness, because by this morning I had forgotten about it again!

My desk is littered with post-it notes and papers, as the act of writing something down is usually what helps to "lock" it into my memory for a time. Unfortunately due to the ridiculous number of to-dos I usually have at any given time it makes me look like some kind of crazy note-hoarder.
