One way to do that is to keep a small spiral notebook with you, such as a 4 x 7 inch notebook. That way, when new ideas come to you, you can write them down immediately. Ideas can be like dreams. If you don't write them down they can evaporate forever. Max’s idea of creating an Idea File is an excellent one.

If you have a trusted way to store all of those thoughts, getting them out of your mind will clear up the mental RAM you need to focus on the problem using the gold nuggets you've created. Also, there may be something other than what one highlights as a good idea right away--something a little out there, a little more creative or strange--that might be a solution to a future problem. This exercise sounds like it will work great for individual problems, but it could have multiplied value if it becomes a way of building an "Idea File."
