oh no? What for? Am I forgetting something I needed to remember?
Just add one more step: finally remembering when it's no longer relevant.
Possibly months later.
I came up with the perfect solution to this but I didn't write it down
I always have moments of genius like that, but then get distracted and it's gone forever

I have so many notes I never need again or have any idea about what I've written down, there are multiples.
Brain or sieve. Sometimes I'm uncertain. (Why choose? I can do both. It says.)
