Sometimes I feel like I have a lot of ideas to express and not enough time. When I feel this way I realize I’m not interested in expressing all of them, what I’m interested in more I remind myself is how to express the ones that matter given the constraints and conditions

seriously, i really feel this. the only solution i've found is to enter the thoughts almost in a flow state all throughout the day at repetitive intervals. i use roam research for i like the disorderly ordered note-taking.

As a kid I dreamed there would someday be an invention to paint the images I could see in my brain exactly as I saw them. I had so many wild ideas up there, but as soon as I tried to express them via drawing or language they got tainted by the effort, with compounding compromise leading to an output that was nothing like what I’d started with. Now I’m old and accept those mind’s eye images can *only* exist perfectly in that original brain context, can never map to reality without countless additional decisions and interpolations. Filling those in is time and work and risk and skill and chance. That translation to reality is the bulk of the externalized idea. Deciding which ideas to even try to translate is confusing, because I have to predict not only which matter internally, but also whether what emerges from that laborious translation process will matter externally. But of course my brain typically bypasses all this and just picks whatever looks interesting at that instant.

@adam-
Do you find that you’re able express more out by utilizing different mediums? i.e: quick thoughts via audio capture and transcription vs. more fully formed thoughts form via writing?

I feel this way a lot about not just ideas but life experiences. There are not enough years to do everything I want to do. I need to find a way to be OK with that.
