Yep. It’s an interesting effect. I think half the reason things get stuck in my head like that is because they’re interesting and I don’t want to forget them, so my mind keeps wandering its way back to them. “Hey, what about that fun idea?”

By writing them down I no longer have to worry about them being forgotten since I can always scan over my notes when I’ve got spare mental bandwidth to work with, which stops my mind from wandering.
