@kara_dreamer I don't trust myself to remember anything unless I've related it to myself for later. Audio, paper, my phone, printed notes, Google docs, I've used them all to keep track of things.
Entropy exists, so these things are gonna slip through the cracks to feed the universe's garbage memory collection. And no note will be perfect, but the moment will be remembered better, too.
Is that what you mean by slipping away? Mission creep can be like that, aka moving goalposts
