Ask HN: How would you organize/classify/sort your ideas?

9 points| newsisan | 15 years ago | reply

Pretty open ended, but I don't want to constrain any replies by being too specific for now.

I will say that I will be using Org-mode (most likely) for this purpose, and am interested in hearing suggestions before I start recording mine.

This is the shit: http://zim-wiki.org/ The best feature is you can type cntrl-j and it gives you an autocompleting text box with which you can jump to any page. This saves a lot of time.

Any sort of mind mapping software usually works for me. I've had great success with bubblus[1] which is a very simple web based mapper.

Interesting! Do any of you use criteria and categories to organize ideas? Ie usefulness, time required, etc.

A text file. Well, a bunch of them. Lets me edit/append to them quickly, from almost anywhere on my system.
