Same, but I have a clipboard and a stack of printer paper. I usually write the name of the project and the date on top and usually just do some design work, diagrams or interface doodles on it. The when I have a clear direction, I make it digital (typing it out, or drawing it properly) for cleaner follow through and collaboration. And as others have said, what you want is the process, more than the tools. The act of getting your thoughts and plan out in the open before acting on them.
