I’ve been toying with the idea of writing for a month or so. Initially, I was inspired by an article in Epilepsy Action’s magazine about coping with poor memory (either following a seizure, or as a side effect of medication). My plan was to explain how I used a version of to-do lists and other techniques to ensure that I’m always organised and confident that I won’t forget anything.
In preparation for writing the article, my research uncovered additional, useful refinements and techniques that I’ve since put into practice: I now have far more ideas than will fit into a single article (but I’m not planning to write a book either!).
Now my challenge is write for a web audience (who have millions of other blogs, websites and general distractions) and to keep up the momentum.
