I avoid needing to rely on my human memory (recall) when possible - if my phone is around, I make voice notes on it that are automatically synced to desktop which are then transcribed using Whisper[1]. When I do need to recall, I just use the strategy of "hold the items in my head as intently as possible, for as little time as possible until I'm able to get to my phone or some paper". On the rare occasions when neither my phone or paper are immediately available, I try to visualize the ideas, projecting them onto a mental canvas, and try to use connections between them or mnemonics to remember them as best as I can. I avoid the problem of "I sit down in front of my computer in order to write down or do a thing" by building the discipline necessary to prevent myself from getting distracted in that manner.
