Anyway, I prefer the Hipster PDA method as well. Office Max has this cool little holder for index cards and that's where I keep my thoughts, my to do lists, and all the stuff that comes to me when I'm in weird places. Great article.

I have a large moleskine cahier that travels with me from room to room. It comes to bed with me. But it doesn't leave home. Don't want to risk losing my main repository. I also have a big notebook for writing down quotes that strike me while I'm reading--that one lives by my reading chair. I only want one of each of these, not one in each room, because otherwise it's too hard to find where I wrote x. But I suffer from the downside that you mention--sometimes I wake up in the morning and my moleskine isn't there! Then there is a little cahier that stays in my purse. ...And another little one that also stays in my purse, in which I record any stray to-do that flies by. And in a pinch there is my cell phone, with Jott programmed on #8, so that if I remember something and have just a stop-light's worth of time to grab it, I can quick make that call and nab the fleeting thought.

My absolute favorite pasttime is taking a good pen and writing in my leather bound journal. It truly is a satisfying art. As far as idea capture goes, I just want to make sure I don't lose the idea. So, having so many options is a good thing. I've resorted to cocktail napkins previously as well, as a capture mechanism, and I've mistakenly relied on writing on my hand as well (stoopit humid weather). Thank you very much for your comment.

It is one of the most valuable tools I have and use. We constantly have ideas pop up and we should definitely record them. I love old fashion hand writing as opposed to technology -although i do both, because...hand writing is an art ... a great expression...a calligraphy if you wish.
