Also, I've woken up in the middle of the night, or first thing in the morning with a brilliant idea. Seeing how I don't trust my memory, my recording device has served me perfectly for these situations. You bring up some interesting situations where a regular method of recording would not work. You could always get a recorder that comes with a rope that goes around your neck. Make that a waterproof recorder, and I think I got you covered on all basis ;) James, I’ve been getting a lot of ideas lately while driving.

I always email myself if there is access to the internet. But somehow inspirational ideas always come at the most unexpected moment and I am often caught with nothing to use as a recording device (such as while jogging, swimming, in the bathroom, etc). Most of the other time, I just use my mobile hone :) Cheers James PS: Stumbled You. Take care :) Hey Alex,

The only tip I'd like to add is to draw an image or add an image from a file. Giving an idea an image and associating the two is sometimes a great way to recall that idea.

I have a smartphone, so I use the voice recorder option when driving. It seems I have my best ideas when I am on a long trip. I also keep a journal and have begun a list of blog topics as they occur to me. I need to get away from my office to leave the noise behind and think clearly. I usually will hole up in a nearby Starbucks and journal away. I really enjoy your content. I use many of your suggestions. I have a smartphone, so I use the voice recorder option when driving.

I read a lot (on average 1 book a week) and I've noticed that those give me plenty of ideas for different areas of my life. Something to write at my blog, something to quote at presentation, something to share with friends, and, most important, some key ideas that I want to keep remembering and use. So I just read books at my computer with Word file open and quickly type down everything that is worth coming back to. Once in a while I re-read those Word files to refresh my memory. I also have them copied on my smartphone so whenever I'm stuck in a traffic jam or have few minutes to spare, I browser through them and open my mind to those ideas again... //Sleeping Dude For daily use my favorite is my smartphone that replaces both note book and digital voice smartphone.
