Doug, Thanks for sharing that bit. Great reminder of an old principle.
An old friend at the CPSI (Creative Problem Solving Institute) used something similar to write his several books. He had a large pegboard in his office that had big manila envelopes attached to hooks, like you might find in someone's woodworking or tool shop. On the outside of the envelope was the subject/title and whenever he had an idea or inspiration, he'd write it down and stuff it into the appropriate envelope. When it got "fat enough", he knew he had a book. He'd take it down, organize the disparate notes, and write the book. A program I led inside a company for many years used business-card sized "Idea Traps" and passed them out to the foremen and hourly workers by the thousands. It was part of an effort to improve productivity and reduce costs. Worked quite well. Many projects saving literally millions of dollars in the aggregate grew out of those cards.
