Journaling
I hate looking at a blank page on my web site. So I feel compelled to write something. Its time consuming to keep a journal. I guess it depends on what you use it for.
I've taken on a new role at work. I thought before that I was spending my time with people, but I find that the first month of a new position (especially a managerial one) is really spending time with people. I will need to continue improving my note taking. Referring to previous notes is really the challenging part.
The most effective way is bringing out old sheets of paper that the notes were on. I find it useful to transcribe the notes. I've actually register http://www.jhorman.org/wikidpad. It doesn't have all the features of a Wiki that I would like (such as Backlinking and image embedding), but so far its comfortable.
The transcription process is useful because it forces me to revisit the notes such that I can take action in a "down" moment or make connections that previously hadn't occurred to me.
Hmmm, I'll get back to you on this stuff later. Breakfast is here, and its our last day in our Stamford offices.

Hey hey,
You might also try out FlexWiki (http://www.flexwiki.com) and FlexWikiPad (http://www.flexwiki.com/default.aspx/FlexWiki.FlexWikiPad) for the same kind of functionality, plus sync out to where ever. I run flexwiki on my laptop for pretty much the same purpose.
