I am afraid writing my thoughts and reading them will cause them to lose their affective components.
If I have a really good idea, I might write myself a note, but I won’t try to describe the whole idea—if I do, it’s like my mental model loses any complexity that couldn’t be expressed in my description. Perhaps a paper mindmap might prevent this from happening.
Perhaps you could create an index of affective or untranslatable responses along with stimuli that produce them. You could then reference this index in your notes.

Perhaps. My intuition is that the index would be too long to be useful, but I’m bookmarking it to consider when I have more brainpower to use on it.
