Scratch Pad

fireweed says:

Please can we have a 'scratch pad' area in RTM, somewhere I can put random jottings, thoughts, etc, as I structure them into tasks ?

How about…

Create a new list, called Scratch Pad. Every new item becomes an entry there.

Or create a new task, called Scratch Pad. Every new idea becomes a note in that task.

Or a Google Docs document?

I was trying to get away from structured entities like tasks. I sometimes find it helpful to have a free-format 'doodle pad' available. I'm not a fan of Google docs, just because I often work from a laptop with a 3g card and performance is poor to awful. Better to associate such a facility with RTM to minimise the number of windows necessary, and to use Gears.

This idea is considered similar to "Place to jot down random notes", and all votes have been transferred to that idea.
