Do you write it down to read it? Or write it down just to write it down? I find myself doing the latter a lot lately- synthesizing rough ideas to a couple approaches or components and prob a little sketch. I feel a bit guilty that I toss them without reading but for me I think the value is it crystalizes my thinking by putting a pen to paper.

Can't tell you how many times my clever initial idea becomes terrible rather quickly. Also if it's something that's going to exist over multiple days, writing it down & coming back to it at least a day later is a great way to re-approach the solution & idea.
