Since I do everything on the computer (programmer!) the temptation is to continue to do all your thinking there, but it really isn't always the best medium to think on. <BR/><BR/>If you've ever read 'The Diamond Age' the neo-Victorians throw back to the pen and paper era.

Always having it on my person I often jotted down mere thoughts, phrases, experiences, and of course, itineraries. I sometimes look through these notes and can instantly be transported back to when I wrote them. It's something that I really should start again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
