Here's a strange place I used for a time for notes organization:
  It's weird so don't tell anybody tongue emoticon
  Powerpoint.
  I think it was 2K at the time. I had tried to shoehorn my
  thinking into Outlook 2000 and while it had excellent
  organization abilities, Powerpoint let me shove ANYTHING into it
  and it was just.. slides or handouts. What's 200 handouts?
  Documentation. A book and a presentation are not so different.

  Finding "what works for you" is key. I'm still looking for "the
  thing" to hang my ideas off of but I think I'm getting closer to
  it. My "thought Collector" is a lifelong obsession it seems
