Re flashlights and capturing at night when you wake up. Instead of using ANY sort of light, develop the technique to write tolerably legible text without any light at all. At one time Iwas told I was going blnd. One of the exercises to prepare is to learn how to write using the thumb and forefinger of the non-writing hand to make "guidelines" in which you write. Form experience printing is usually more legible than cursive in such situations. The end result for me was that I can capture at night without ever even turning on any light at all.
Alternatively look for a pen with a built in red light that turns on when you click the pen or press it or somehow say tou are ready to write. Red light doesn't affect night vision and also doesn't affect most people's sleep/awake status much. Here's one I found on Amazon but I have no esxperience with them or toher of this type as I don't need light to write notes at night.

You seem most qualified to answer a dark mystery:
"What motivates adolescence to seek remorseless pleasure in inflicting cruelty on others while feigning otherwise ?"
Thank you very much

Mr
I'm not sure its best for health to try to write if wake up in night - cos doesn't that just make it harder to go to back to sleep ?
So I'm not sure the ideas you write here are worth myself thinking about more? "

Mr
' Im not sure if the MODs on this site mind it if I hyper link small amount reference info here about topic knowledge?
They did write before should keep off topic info to private chat ?

It depends on the person. I do much better by writing it down to get ti off my mind then I can get back to sleep.Otherwise I stay up even longer so I won't forget.
TimBourne
Mr
Oh right
well I depend it matters how important the thing is?
How do I assess which of my ideas are the most important ? ... wait?
but surely if you had a really important idea - then you would remember it, would come back to you ... :[

@TimBourne
Yes, in a way, if you want to continue thinking about something then don't write it down, however, the risk of forgetting what one want to think about remains in effect
Therefore, it is best / safest to simply write it down?
Thank you very much

Mr
Is this true?
I was thinking - cos humans get stressed - regardless of what they are thinking do you understand?
or have you ever herd: "if it was important" then - you will remember it
and if its not important (it doesn't matter) or if you forget it then there is a reason for it. (because its not important) . is this a saying or philosophy from some where?

Not in my case. I stay up until I can get to a place to write it down then my mind lets go. So for me, learning to write without any lights and my eyes closed is critical to getting a good nights sleep when I wake up with ideas. I no longer open my eys, I just reach over grab my pen and notebook, write then roll over and go back to sleep. easy, peasy.

Mr
'*scanning over this *
your saying you can't fall asleep unless you document certain specific ideas
really? - the ones which are worrying you
is this something which is debateable ? '
How does one decide which ideas are worrying says voice ?

One of the key ingredients of GTD is to emtpy your head regularly - 'your mind is for having ideas, not holding them'...

Yes
Correct, or the ones I think need more clarification
NO
The one that I can't fall asleepinless I deal with them.
You seem to often make mountains out of molehills. Take another person's views as inputs not gospel and I think you will have a better outcome. As I said the entire exchange was base don MY experience. Whihc is, by definition, NOT your experience. Take what you find usefull and trash the rest.
