@TheShackledMuse I have the same problem for poetry, I think I will remember it later and voila I always forget.

I have the fortunately luck of working from home, so I work with my home computer and work computer from the same desk. When I have blog inspiration or ideas, I often will use my lunch break to jot all my stuff down and save it as outlook tasks or email it to myself as reminders. If I worked at a job where I had no computer and I had inspiration, I certainly think writing notes on paper (even if it is a blog topic with a few keywords as inspiration) it would help. If you have a phone that allows voice memo’s you can record your voice as a voice memo too.

Yup, I’m one of those people who walk around with a notebook and pen everywhere. Problem is, when I do get ideas, I dont write them down… silly I know.

@George – Haha I didn’t even think of emailing myself from my phone. That’s much easier than writing it in my todo app then having to write out again since I already email myself ideas and notes anyway. Cheers!

@James – Even though I’m at my desk I still write on pen and paper, it’s much easier when planning out things than typing sometimes, even if I will type it back on the computer.

Cheers for the RT!

Pen and Paper, absolutely vital. Sometimes I type an idea straight into my phone and think about the ideas to write about within that post idea.

It can become overwhelming for sure, but no one said it was easy, I do say it’s fun and exciting though and that’s why it’s worth it!

Good post, well worth a re-tweet

I use to carry a pen and paper around with me, but now I just use my blackberry phone to make notes and then I can even email to myself for further reading and all. It makes life so much easier.

I have been trying to schedule time during the day just for blogging, but somehow I either spend less or to much time. I guess I need to work more on that

@Adam – Thanks for stopping by. The Moleskins seem to be very popular. I usually write down notes on my todo app on my iPhone as I don’t think my pockets are big enough to carry pen and paper

I’ve always got my Moleskin and a pen on me and have found it actually to be the most helpful in writing posts while I’m away from my computer.

I also find most of my time is just reading other blogs and commenting on those. Thanks for the other tips!

@Codrut – I have often thought about using the voice recorder but if I’m out and all I have is my phone I generally write a note in my todo app on iPhone.
