[...] This works well as I actually use Simplenote (as championed by John Gruber of Daring Fireball) for all my other random notes, such as ideas for blog posts or stuff I want to be able to find in future (the equivalent of what Charlie Gilkey calls his ‘Idea Garden’). [...]

This is so genius! I never thought about doing it this way. I’m constantly coming up with new ideas and always hate to put them aside or (gasp) ignore them for the current project. I’m creating an “idea garden” right now! Thanks for sharing your experiences!

I’m very partial to Evernote, it saves automatically which is a super bonus for me because I never remember to save. I also like using just lists and lists of stuff, and I can just make a new note with different themes of ideas with more and more lists. Either that, or I’ll go the old fashioned way with a composition book (never spiral…eww) and a pen, and jot stuff down in no neat manner.

Thanks for pointing me to this post in twitter Charlie! Very interesting, and very close to how I also manage my idea garden. I keep my ideas (mostly) in a small Moleskine notebook, and once a week (in my blog writing day), I take a look at them to see if something has developed enough to be written. If there are no ideas big enough I always have some backup theme to write about (trying not to force them to get into the wild).

Some other ideas I collect in my iPad or iPod Touch, also in plain text files in my Dropbox folder. And when the writing time comes, they are also part of the crop.

Cheers,

Ruben
