Speaking of good ideas, does anyone know a good way to save/record an idea? I always think of one at the most inopportune time and by the time I have a chance to write it down I forget parts of it. Is there an app or service to help me?



A notebook?

No seriously get one of those tiny (1/3 A5) ones which fit in any pocket, then all you have to do is remember a pen!


I've love to hear about this as well.

As for me, I've gone through Google Notebook, now Docs - one big Ideas doc for undevelopped ideas, then as ideas get developped, they get their own doc. And now also Trello, which is great. On the dashboard, you see only card titles, and this allows you to hide complexity.


This is an app I made to help me remember my ideas: http://atomyard.com/

I made it to scratch my own itch but I hope other people find it useful too.


Write it down on your phone? Or the back of your hand?
