middi1 at last! Someone who knows exactly my problem! Welcome to the world of overactive brains. I have ideas for artworks; writing; inventions; solving the poverty problem here in South Africa and a million and ten other ideas. Sometimes I can't write them down fast enough, so I voice record them now on my laptop. One of those dinky pocket-sized sound recorders will be a boon.
Perhaps you should give binaural beats a shot: you have to relax first and then apply them via headphones and with the right frequencies, your brain will slow down. Go to
www.bwgen.com and download a free copy of BrainWave Generator. It has built-in sound files, some of which might help you.
You can learn more about Brain entrainment and BWGen here:

I don't know if you want a hug, but here's one anyway.
Love,
Old Fart.
