Agh!

And then I couldn't sleep *either*.

Brain: Ooh, I just thought of another good penultima rule.
Me: Oh no. Go to sleep already.
Brain: I should write it down, else I won't know if I remember it.
Me: Please?
Brain: But it needs a name.
Me: HOVERCRAFT! Happy? Can I sleep now?
Braim: Ooh, that's a good one. I just thought of another rule!
Me: Gngh.
Brain: And don't forget, tomorrow we have to [list of stuff categorised into three different text files, plus write a test bed for the code I wrote last week].
Me: I wrote it down. I won't.
Brain: But did you remember it all? TOOTHPASTE! is something also that we have to buy next shopping.
Me: I got that.
Brain: Mushrooms? Gluten-free-"pasta"-suace?
Me: Yes. Yes. Yes. I *checked*.
Brain: Oh. Ok.
*pause*
Me: Can I sleep now?
*pause*
Brain: I thought of something else

Now -- I'm fortunate that I've so rarely found my brain nonfunctioning and also unable to sleep. I don't habitually drink coffee immediately in the morning, nor multiple cups, but I think I need it today.

I wonder if to-do lists as bedroom wallpaper would help. Or would they make it worse? Brain might make you get up and scribble on them. Though that's better than brain making you get up and go in another room to look for paper and then get up again because the pen has run out and then... er...

m, coffee.

LOL. I do have paper to jot things on. If I can see at a glace everything's written on my lists it's better, but when there's too much I can never remember if I wrote it down or not.

Having the lists on my wall (preferably as flat lcd mirrors of the todo-xxx.txt files on the server) would be ok, but when too much is goign on oppressive :)
