It starts with capture. Then exploration.

You know those thoughts?
You’re half asleep.
They’re blown into your head like autumn leaves. Then soon they're forgotten, and much later just rot away.
Yuck.
That's because you don't capture them?
They don't make sense right away. You're busy. Or something else.
But what if they're a gift from your muse?
This morning my waking thought was about doing more with less. I have no idea why. But we've all heard that one. It's straight out of the buzz-phrase book.
Anyhoo, rather than leaving it in my rotting leaf pile, I decided to capture it. And I'm sharing the odd train of thought that followed. Just free writing, no ai, here in public.
It goes like this…
There are people that manage to do more with less. They're enterprising I guess.
And opposite is perhaps those who somehow manage to do less with more. The bureaucratic types.
And in-between all sorts. Those who tend towards:
Doing less with less.
Do the same with less.
Do the same with more.
Do more with more.
Are these choices mainly down to attitude, aptitude, some other factor?
Bloody mindedness.
Not sure what I'll do with this note next. But at least its captured for now.
Not lost.
No pressure.
Tell me, do you deliberately capture your odd thoughts, or just leave them to rot?
