Remember, or forget?

What ideas do you need to remember? What ideas do you need to forget? That's the trouble with ideas lists. Although lists may help us to keep ideas organised, sometimes they just tie ideas to the past. And once we set out to realise the idea, something else happens. This new development makes the idea obsolete. But by then it might be too late. So in the fast moving world of ideas, forgetfulness may work in your favour. Memory, then, is not always the best friend of ideas.
