>The best thing to capture an idea is to write it down, even in the middle of the night, provided it's a really good idea. Sometimes the day after and assessing with someone, that good idea idea isn't so good anymore. It also happens that you can refine your idea to make it even better. So, unless you think it's not worthwile pursuing, write it down, make a scheme, whatever, so it doen't get lost.

>What I think is important is to assess whether your idea is a workabale idea or just a wild idea that's too hard to accomplish or too far from your own reality. I wasn't used too writing down ideas until recently and forgot some of them. I like to think that these ideas were not good enough, otherwise I would remember. The advantage when writing down is that it puts you in a state of mind to realize that particular idea and put more action into it, while unwritten ideas stay like latent ideas.
