Mind to brain:
I have a task for you.
Brain to mind:
What is it?
[Mind outlines task.]
Brain to mind
OK, let me sleep on it.
[Five minutes later]
Mind to brain:
Did you finish yet?
Brain to mind:
No
[Five minutes later]
Mind to brain:
Did you finish yet?
Brain to mind:
I told you, no. Stop hassling me. Let me do my job
Mind to brain:
I can’t stop thinking about it
Brain to mind:
What have I told you a thousand times? Let it go: I’m on it. But I can’t do my work with you asking all the time. Just stop it. It’s not hard.
Mind to brain:
You think so? So how come there are a million self-help books, and talks about meditation and courses on mindfulness? Huh? See, you can’t answer me.
[Ten seconds later]
Mind to brain:
Answer me. Why have you gone quiet?
Brain to mind:
I am trying to get some sleep.
[Five minutes later]
Mind to brain:
Did you finish yet?

When I can’t remember something, I just set it in the back of my mind and say okay, there you go. You figure it out while I go in with other things… And. It. Works. If you constantly worry it, the result is like a cat under the bed, it stops creeping forward and instead goes farther back… But if you leave it be for a few moments (or even overnight) the answer will eventually surface! The trick is of course to just shut the hell up (and mind your own business; )
Not very PC, but it just popped into my head by association… The Original:
