| AmberCadabra | asks | If you find as many great ideas as i do every day, how do keep track and remind yourself about them so you can actually DO them? |
| MackCollier | says | some are excited about Evernote, ask Andre about it, supposedly helps you keep up with links/ideas etc |
| AmberCadabra | god i need all the help i can get. will check these out. |
| herb | says | Evernote and PersonalBrain |
| ckeithley | says | I try to post things in delicious links so I can search by relevant tag later when I need them. |
| AmberCadabra | i think i'm getting that plurktarded syndrome LOL |
| acnatta | says | yeah MackCollier, I'm all about evernote.com |
| AmberCadabra | evernote looks interesting! I'm going to try it out but gonna have to upgrade my OS if i want to use the desktop version |
| acnatta | says | yeah, it sucks that I can't use it on the Mac except as the web version |
| DebInAustin | says | I use google notebook. Have tried out EverNote, but it's not as helpful as GN which fits in the bottom right side of browser. |
| acnatta | says | I really love OneNote but it's nice to have the web access of evernote (and the ability to use it on both Mac and PC) |
| acnatta | says | its the same as Notebook, but it's a little more flexible (to me at least) |
| acnatta | says | though I've got tons of friends who swear by GN |
| DebInAustin | says | I've never tried OneNote, will take a look at it. |
| AmberCadabra | I'm going to try out GN and evernote and see which one i gravitate toward. Thanks! |
| miketempleton | I either add links to del.icio.us or email myself, but I have a hard time actually going back and looking at stuff I've sent. |
| servantofchaos | says | that is actually what my blog is about ... it is an idea scrapbook |
| AmberCadabra | Gavin, i subscribe and love your stuff. Now i need to get it over to where all the other ideas live LOL |
| sonnygill | a moleskine  |
| amsall | says | Good old pen and paper |
| AmberCadabra | i love my notebook, too, but am just getting TOOO overwhelmed. |
| acnatta | says | the guys at standarddeluxe.com make some cool notebooks too |
| KDFrawg❤ | says | I keep a text file with just raw ideas. As they unraw, I move them into a file structure. |
| Robyn | says | AmberCadabra This is a great thread, thanks for posting it, have wondered also how everyone else manages it! |
| DebInAustin | says | servantofchaos I love the Blog Spectrum! |
| AmberCadabra | acnatta I use standard deluxe notebooks. love em |
| acnatta | says | they are great AmberCadabra |
| KDFrawg❤ | says | I just sorta find that a disk folder structure is perfect. A folder for every book, a folder of every blog, etc. |
| AmberCadabra | i suppose it all depends how you categorize things in you mind. for me, it's ideas for blog posts, then ideas for my own biz |
| KDFrawg❤ | says | Subfolders for raw ideas and research, etc. |
| AmberCadabra | then strategies i can learn about to better my work for my clients |
| AmberCadabra | so i basically need a dumping ground where i can sort through stuff later and not have to search for it |
| KDFrawg❤ | says | Las thing every night, I spend some time moving raw notes to the file structure. Sounds complicated, but it isn't. |
| acnatta | says | I also use FreeMind too for the stream of consciousness and flow chart type stuff |
| KDFrawg❤ | says | Freemind is cool for brainstorming and visualizing connections. I love it. |
| AmberCadabra | thanks for all your suggestions, guys! I may have to aggregate these into a blog post. |
| acnatta | says | I would think that this was a Plurkshop as well tonight... |
| KDFrawg❤ | says | Is there a regular Plurkshop tonight? |
| AmberCadabra | so far I'm finding Evernote really easy. The Google Notebook plugin is acting fravitzy on me |
| DebInAustin | says | oh, do you have FF3? I think there is a bug for it, sorry! I forgot about that. I know they are aware and trying to fix it. |
| acnatta | thinks | sometimes the best Plurkshops are the ones that we just stumble into - though there may have been one scheduled... |
| AmberCadabra | I do have FF3. Thanks for the heads up - i'll take another look when it's unbuggy |
| acnatta | says | don't give up on it yet then AmberCadabra |
| DebInAustin | says | sorry about that! It works reeeaaallly! I'll let you know what I hear. |
| AmberCadabra | no worries! I'll give it another shot |
| KDFrawg❤ | says | I love evernote! And it is out of beta as of today! |
| KDFrawg❤ | says | he agrees with acnatta. This one has been great, although I got here a little late. |
| DebInAustin | says | hey. I tried that blog network app on Facebook and had to enter 5 blogs to follow, so I entered yours and mack's. Also Miss Attitude's. |
| AmberCadabra | I gotta try that thing. it's on the list LOL |
| DebInAustin | says | well, you are on there now. I am so bad about this stuff. Tell me about and I have to sign up. I have so many beta invites! |
| AmberCadabra | did someone link to the FB app already? I can't find it.  |
| DebInAustin | says | ProBlogger did and I re-plurked his post, let me find the link. |
| Jane Chin | until you do, ambercadabra, here's an alert on your topic at plurkaholics.com www.plurkaholics.com/keeping-track-of-all-your-stuff/ |
| johnrhopkins | says | oldschool method of emailing myself. Always with the same subject start so I can find them later in gmail |
| Jane Chin | johnrhopkins I've done that! Then create email filter to automatically file idea piles etc. |
| KDFrawg❤ | says | Sometimes I call myself and leave messages. |
| codyrobert | says janechin i've emailed myself many times and it usually starts out with a compliment to myself  |
| CallKathy | loves | OneNote... but you probably knew that already. Shared notebooks rule! |
| johnrhopkins | is | embarrased to say that I once called myself and left a message... forgot about it and briefly wondered who's voice it was on the message. |
| johnrhopkins | is | sure alcohol was involved. The fact that I'm unsure probably proves it. |
| Jane Chin | codyrobert that is an amazing idea. next time i'll start by complimenting myself in all the emails i send to myself  |
| DebInAustin | says | evernote, formally google notebook (wah!) I also just put new blog posts in blogger with notes in the body and go back to write later |
