I usually toss the ideas around in my head for a little while and then I will write it up and keep it in Google Drive. It may be a page or a few pages, or a half a page. I create a folder for the idea and then put the document inside that.
What I do not typically do is go over my old ideas, which might be a good idea. But I think the act of writing the idea down goes a long way towards crytallizing it in my memory, for is I ever want to revist it. (Back in college, I would take notes in class, but never review them.)
Most of the ideas get touched only the one time. Some I come back to and expand on. And some actually become projects (which is what I call the root folder where I keep all these, "projects").
If the idea does become a bigger project, I will often have many more ideas and they will get written up in the same folder.
EDIT - oops, this comment is in the wrong post! This was supposed to go under the :How do you take notes" post.
