Similar techniques have worked in the past for me, but I always wind up with a bunch of paper or computer text that I have no idea where to put. How do you organize all the data without interfering in its creation? Ideally, I'd like a solution that also incorporates all the little inspiration bits I get at various times, and other thoughts I'd like to keep.



I suggest Evernote. Create a notebook called thoughts and a note for every topic you want to write. Afterwards it's more or less organized (in the cloud) + searchable.


I've toyed with it, but never really gone for it. I think I'll give it a real shot this time. Thanks.


This is a pretty awesome tool. Thank you for suggesting this. It'll be really useful for me!


Check the part "Build an Inventory of Thoughts". It talks exactly about that.


Right, but it didn't give a lot of practical details. Probably the actual book has more; I guess I shouldn't complain because I'm too cheap to actually buy it.
