Managing Ideas
* What do you do for managing ideas..
- Any software?
- Sticky notes?
- Diary?
I always gets good (sometime even creative too) ideas during bath, loo or breakfast. And, from sometime, I started to maintain ‘Crazy Morning Ideas’ diary with me.
And these Google’ internal tools are also interesting..





I’m using Zim for this (http://zim-wiki.org/).

Depends what you mean by managing ideas. I usually carry around with me a very small (and disposable) notebook, but that’s really for remembering things, rather than generating/investigating new ideas.
For playing with new ideas, my favourite tool is vym (not, err obviously {?} vim). As a mind mapping app, it is not the most sophisticated thing around. On the other hand, it is fast and the last thing i want when I’m doing anything like this is anything that gets in the way.

I use to write idea into a a little notebook I have always in my pocket and then copy them into emacs using todo/remember modes.

Tomboy on my Ubuntu laptop for personal ideas, etc.
For my role as manager in Innovation group we have built an inhouse Idea Management System … somewhat like Ubuntu Brainstorm, but not very much so.

To strategise, I use FreeMind … but have found it useful for personal brainstorming as well as note taking.
