When I'm working on something like that I tend to literally have a directory called sketches/ in the root of the repo, a few of which will currently run, a few more of which -did- run at some point, and then the rest are more thinking out loud than anything else. Calling it that straight out the gate reminds me not to worry too much about it and just get the thing down into a file for future reference, if I derive a 'real' version of anything in there that I intend to both run now and to stay running I'll put that somewhere else (and leave the sketch in place for historical curiosity purposes).
