For brainstorming and architecting I use whiteboards that I take photos of before erasing. If there&#x27;s no whiteboard available, I use pen and paper - yellow legal pads - which I also take photos of.<p>Text files and Evernote I use for snipping web pages, organizing bookmarks, and taking meeting minutes. For todo lists, I use text files, Evernote, and increasingly, Asana.<p>I don&#x27;t do any brainstorming with the computer.
