I had a scathingly brilliant idea to organize myself. I didn't write it down because something this perfect is unforgettable. All I needed was a monthly planner.
Of course, they weren't on sale when I went to the website that sold exactly what I wanted. I didn't want to pay full price and so I decided to wait until there was a sale. I had the cover, and everything all picked out. Just give me that sale code, baby.
And then I waited. And waited.
Then a few weeks later, the sale announcement showed up in my social media feed! Yes! I hurried up and ordered and then waited a few weeks for it to ship and then days for it to arrive.
But at last, it was in my hands!
And I forgot what my scathingly brilliant idea was. Like it was completely gone, not so much as a hint remaining in my brain.
So now I have a monthly planner with blank pages behind it and no use for it because despite having it for over a month now, I still have no idea what I was thinking.
I should have written it down. With ADHD, even scathingly brilliant ideas aren't guaranteed to stay in my head. It's just that I get so tired of having Post-it Notes everywhere. And then, of course, the notes themselves get lost.
If I don't come up with a use for the planner, I guess I'll save it until I do have a use for it. It's a Sunday start, so I'd be redating all the monthly pages anyway because I prefer Monday start. I like my weekend days together.
On the bright side? I have learned to always record my story ideas. It's why I have so many notebooks. I'm on Notebook Three for the Paladin League. I needed to reference Notebook Two the other day, and for a few minutes I was really concerned I'd lost it, but then I managed to unearth it. Good thing because I needed to verify one of my sketches.
I'm not sure where Notebook One is, but at least I shouldn't need any information out of that one any longer. I hope. Because it's mostly for the first four books in the series.
