Brilliance?

I am not by nature a list maker. Lists get long and restrictive and I never know what to put on said lists because when I start writing, especially with pen and paper then it becomes stream of consciousness writing and then my little list is 4 pages long with 6 addendum. I used to try to make notes of the brilliant ideas that come to me late at night when I can't sleep or when I wake for a few minutes and have had a project on my mind. The only problem with this is that I would write something that made sense to me right in that moment and the next morning? Yeah, I could never figure out what I meant. Never. I think that means that my stream of consciousness at that point in time is not so comprehendable...or that I am drunk and don't know it.
Here are some examples of notes that have been in said notes (usually the backs of envelopes or magazines)
-PAINT! (what? I don't know)
-nailfiler keeper (do I make one, need one, or invent one?)
-PdL (mmmkay?)
-monkey
It's been several years since I did this and those notes are still in my head and every now and then I try to focus on them so that I can recreate the thought because obviously they were brilliant thoughts and I need to recapture then so I can make millions of dollars!
Have you ever taken notes and gone back and not understood?

If I don't have a list, then I can't remember anything! Nothing! Nada! Zero! My brain is mush anymore!!!
Hey, maybe we need to start Jillian on the same day...to encourage each other, or die together, not sure what it would be. :) lol!
However, sometimes I think that my brain really doesn't recall what I was thinking about when I wrote that note and does an instant re-boot if you will of a "new interpretation and AH-HA, I found the note I have been looking for" moment. LOL
ALL my ideas are so splendorous that I am actually surprised I don't rule the world.
