I just found a bunch non-sensical notes on my iPhone which are apparently treatments for screenplay premises. Here's a screenshot one I apparently wrote at 4am last September

Normally, I would never do any more planning than that (shorthand's into a Notes app or a one sentence premise in my brain) before opening writing software, which I'm not aying as a positive.
I wrote an actual treatment for a feature (I'm posing it on the WIP threat ATM) and it's made lots of things easier, so I'm curious everyone else planning. What do you do prior a first draft (and would anyone be brave enough to share a treatment - in exchange, I'll post more of my surreal Iphone note premises)
?
