When you have an idea, but no way to write it down, how do you remember it?

wow i had to think about this one; i genuinely have no idea! usually if it's a really amazing idea, it grabs me by the collar and i can't get rid of it, and i'm thinking about it until i have the chance to write it down. but otherwise, i guess i just try and file it away and hope I remember it later?? often i've got some sort of pen on me because of all the ideas i get when i'm not near paper, so i write it on my hand. what do you do?
I try to memorize the idea, but usually I forget it by the time I get a chance to write it.
lol sameee I feel like there's no good solution
This is so hard! One thought I have that I'm not sure will work is maybe do a small braid in your hair, tie your shoe weird, something random that you will notice later. Maybe when you notice this little thing later you'll remember why you did it which could help?
Great idea, thanks! So creative, I think I will use this.
I don't, I pretend that I'm going to remember it and then I forget it all :(
reaaalllll!!!
I think that if it's a good idea i'll remember it, because it just WILL NOT leave me alone until I write it down, and if it's just something that I should add or edit, I guess I just hope I remember it. And then I don't, or it'll come to me when I'm writing something else.
I carry sticky notes with me at all times... I'm also pretty good at leaving mental notes for myself and remembering them later. Another trick I have for when you have an idea in the middle of the night but don't want to get up is throwing a pillow across the room at your door, or turning something around. When you wake up you'll notice the misplaced object and remember the idea you had. Sounds kind of silly I know but it works for me! :)
