    I use a napkin and a pencil since I do most of my thinking at work drawing and making stained glass windows. When I have too many napkins I organize things in Word. Anything else works just as good.

    Over the years I have tried all kinds of systems, techniques and software (and even some smart phone apps on my DroidX most recently), but at the end of the day I always come back to my old tried-and-true standbys: a stack of index cards and quad ruled graph paper steno notebooks.

    But I will add that this software really impressed me at the time when I started to use it (but it is a bit dated now):

    The Literary Machine

    Come to think of it, I'm not sure why I stopped using it...
