I want to do many things when i'm busy but i forget it when i'm free

A lot of the time when I'm very busy with obligations, I always think of things I want to do and I feel like complaining because I just don't have the time to do them. However, once I actually do get the time to do the things I wanted I forget what I wanted to do until I'm busy again. And the cycle restarts.

Is this normal?

    I do this a lot. I keep a journal and write a lot my ideas in there. Then I have some place to look for inspiration when I get those moments of free time.

    I tell Siri to remind me on certain dates to do certain activities. It's the helper on the iPhone.

    Yes, I do the same thing. I am thinking of keeping a fun activities list to refer to when this happens.

  • I'm the same. I'll have a brilliant idea and won't remember it again until weeks later.

    Now I have a notepad and instead of forgetting the brilliant ideas, I just forget to write down the ideas sometimes.

    Yes it's normal....it means your brain is constantly thinking of things that need to be completed or activities you may want to do..all while you're currently trying to finish a task! Maybe you could do it all if you plan and prioritize everything accordingly. Just write down or use a recorder to remember all the things you want to do.

    Stick it on a sticky, in your phone,or anywhere to remind you! Happens to me all the time, so I generally end up writing it on my hand.

  • Staying active and engaged in your life keeps you moving and doing. When you're free (have time off from the usual), you're at rest and the motivation to do all those things disappears. It's very normal to feel like that.
