# Write notes as you go

Blooming good reminder to write notes as you go, from Tom Stuart’s [notes on returning to breadmaking](https://tomstu.art/weeknotes-157-muscle-memory).

I suppose the lesson here is to make a habit of taking notes as you go, rather than hoping you’ll spot the latest possible moment to record the details right before you forget them.
