Effective and essential for anyone that live of their ideas or just care of them.
It's marvelous to see how brain can process old conscious things in background (unconsciously). And it's even more interesting to see how they come back at any time, just for fun, or because you unconsciously sensed a thing that trigged the reactions (like an image, a sound, a smell, etc); the come back of the processed thought.
Brain is an extraordinary thing. When you know his basic behavior than you can work with it. In this example, by carrying a simple notebook.
Thank for this post Mr. Vinson

Good point. Personally, for blogging purposes I wrote all my posts in a Word document and I put it on my desktop. Then I can have between 2 or 5 posts waiting to be finished, edited and published. Then when I have ideas about these future posts I add it quickly to keep my idea going, without thinking about the grammar, formulation and editing. If I didn’t have my laptop with me, I put my thoughs in my little Moleskine pocket diary and add it to my document when I come back home. After, when I publish the article, I change the name of the file and add the date of the publishing and put the document in a specific folder with the post category’s name.
Why do I use a Word document? Simple, because I only have to copy/past it to my Radio Userland software and the parsing will be done automatically in HTML; I’ll have the same editing on my weblog as the one I have in Word.
It’s how I work for by blogging writing. For now it’s do the job.
I also started a “comment blog†to keep track of my writing on other blogs. It does seem really useful to keep track of conversations and eventually I think that it will be a good source of inspiration… I hope so.

Have a good day,
