Why not good ol' fashioned paper and pen note taking? Easy, you can scribble, draw diagrams and you can always keep it on your desk.

Thanks for joining the discussion!
I do love this approach, but has a major downside for me - I cannot do it while jogging, walking, traveling, etc. As I mentioned in my post, the critical thing is acting immediately to make sure that idea/thought won't perish until you can jot it down :)

What do you think?

Another option if you're on Android and can get Google's Recorder app. It does real-time transcription, so you could record while jogging (or whatever), then copy the text into your preferred app when you're able to. The voice notes are searchable too
