Lately, no matter what I'm doing, I'm constantly thinking about this app. Frustrations and road blocks in coding that cause me to stop and move on to another activity (like replaying Final Fantasy X) stay in the back of my mind. Sometimes a solution will suddenly pop into my head in one of those slap-on-the-forehead kind of moments, and I'm glad to have a piece of paper and a pencil nearby to jot down the idea. I don't always have time to jump into the code at that moment, but having a place to log ideas and possible solutions is crucial.
Also, I haven't found a good way to take the kind of notes I take on the computer. I love the free open space of a piece of paper, and the ability to draw pictures with annotations and full sentences, without worrying about formatting. I highly recommend a good 'programming notebook' for everyone.
