Game in the Brain

昨天我忘了小笔记本。我难天我常常忘做什么，没有笔。
I’ve reached a level of dependence to my A6 notebooks. Forgetting one  when I’m in a hurry points out that:

1. I have to many things going on and with no way to put them down and refine the idea they are all half baked and with so much ambiguities. When a thought is written down then all its flaws seem to just jump out. 
2. A part of my working memory breaks off to just attend and produce worry. Worrying about forgetting something. 
3. I cannot prioritize or evaluate. When I write things down I can perform the 5Wahs and 5Whys technique per item (typically a chunking version of the 5Wahs and Whys, just a couple of Whys and Whats related to implications and costs). Again the limits of my working memory. 
4. I cannot see beyond the action, or worse, I can only gather the Ambiguous Situation and cannot work out the Next Action using Analysis (5Wahs and 5Whys). I’m conditioned to feel dread when I’m in an ambiguous situation. Because too often I’m thrown in them and asked to guess the “right answer” and considered Failing. 

Basically. I learned to leave Notebooks around. In my pants and in my bags and the car.
