Brain Drop. (Episode 245)

This morning, while driving the kids to school, I had this brilliant idea for the opening of the book I am writing at the moment – and then I forgot it…

​
I do not know what it’s called when that happens, but I know it is incredibly frustrating. So I decided to call it “a brain drop”, like if you suddenly and temporarily “dropped” your mind and your line of thought. And I kind of like how it sounds like “rain drop”.

​
Have you ever experienced “brain drop”?

​
Did the idea come back to you?

​
And: Do you find yourself going back to the very same spot where the idea came to you to see if it would come back to you… 🙂

​
​
​brain drop

​
(n.) informal
1. A sudden lapse or disappearance of a previously realized idea or thought, often occurring before it can be fully processed or noted down, resulting in frustration or confusion.

​

An instance of losing one’s train of thought or forgetting a momentary flash of insight.​

Example: “I had the perfect concept for our new project, but I experienced a brain drop and couldn’t recall it when I got to my desk.”
