Ask HN: How do you recall ideas/eureka you get during walks, showers, etc.?

I get clarity on existing ideas, problems, and the best of new ones while walking, in the shower, and sometime during mind-play just before dozing off. I know this is common with most people. What are your recall tactics? I do Audio Recording (Phone App), write on tiny notepads, and even use one of those water-proof bathroom-ready notepads. Sometimes, I felt the ideas were so apparent that I didn’t write them down or just continued walking. However, the moment I sit in front of the Computer – the best case is that I’m now doing other “important things” or trying to knock off the tasks in the calendar, etc. That simple but effective idea I had is gone and won’t come back in its form for hours, days, weeks, or years!
