I've tried a few different options (Evernote, OneNote, GoogleDrive, .txt file in Notepad) but always come back to just a little A4 plain-page notebook. There's something special about sketching out ideas on paper, don't know what it is but seems to flow better :)

I treat it as a unapologetic brain-dump, that gets thrown-out and restarted regularly. I've gotten the hand of self-editing what goes in the notebook (as it used to contain to dos, meeting notes, goals etc.) now its anything that I wouldn't mind being lost.
