I used to say that sarcastically, in jest, “note to self….” followed by some blatantly obvious statement…..
I was soooo young. Now I find that I use “notes to self.”
They free me to be so much more creative. I find it is so liberating to be able to immediately write that note down, somewhere I cannot ignore it. I don’t have to remember it more than once….whatever it is, only just long enough to make a note to self and leave it somewhere that I will see it at the appropriate time.
I am not sure if this is maturing or finally realizing the value of time and limited resources…to wit, my not so reliable memory!

hey, this didn’t work. The hyperlink doesn’t have the wordpress part in it. I went to your blog and this post is not showing, either. Waaaah!
that is what happens when you work on a draft post in more than one device. I published from one, then closed the browser, discovered the second one and logged out in it with the post still a draft. When I looked at it later it showed that it was published on February 7th, but the status was still draft. I confused the software! Silly, but it feels like something of an accomplishment!
