The importance of the notebook by the bed: Frederick Banting (discoverer of insulin, humanitarian, kind heart) wrote his first ideas about treatment for diabetes in the middle of the night … on his little notebook by his bed. True story.

I’ve kept a notebook on my bookcase headboard for years, and I’ve learned that when my brain is all looseygoosey, I tend to forget I have a notebook on my bookcase headboard. Heehee.

When I was 11, my wise old grandmother, while helping me set up my first company, taught me to keep a notebook, pen, and flashlight by my bed to write down things as they occur to me in the night. The flashlight was so I wouldn’t wake anyone else up. Been that way now for 46 years.

I normally use my blackberry on iPad.

Yes I didnt realise how much I would use it but its at work, at home, on phone and ipad and its brilliant for a free app too.

I have had note books, mini cassette recorders, use voice message, any kind of taking notes =)

I resort to the pen and paper or arm when in the middle of the night some inspiration hits me or my husband will kill me but at times I do get up and come and jot it down or write straight into Evernote as you say =) You never remember what it was in the morning!

Though I realize that everyone seems to be grabbing their smart phones or tablets to jot down ideas, there’s something I like about pulling my notebook from my bedside table and scrawling an idea down without turning on technology. It keeps me in my about-to-sleep mode.
Great idea for a post, by the way. The number of times I’ve had an idea for something right before I’ve fallen asleep, but been too far away from anything to write it down with… Countless.

Hi, I shared the same thoughts too I love Evernote.
I used it to keep my ideas, possible blogging topics and even as a training log for my marathon training.

in the past, I tried to always have a notebook and pen around me so when an idea of the writing inch triggers, I could write down in point forms. But I always lose my pen in the end thoughts and ideas just went away.

Now with smartphone, I always have it with me. Now even on the bed if any idea arise, I just write it down in Evernote. The best thing is that it syncs to many places. The next morning I just need to turn on desktop. opens up the evernote app and it’s there

And like you said. It’s free

Cheers

And if I have no paper in the past I have been known to write all the way up my arm in the dark and then try to decipher it in the morning LOL =) I always have paper, phone, something somewhere to keep my notes as I am a writer and FB page owner =)
I love Evernote and have it on all my devices and its FREE =)
God bless
