I make lists and jot notes in Zim. Additionally, if I need to actually organize my thoughts I use a freemium mind-mapping software on my phone called Simple Mind.

When I went to school for art (until I switched), I learnd that artists and writers have long used physical notebooks, but that you can't just use them as a convenience: you have to actually put effort into ensuring you put something in it each day whether you're feeling creative or not. And you have to go back and read it to critically evaluate what you're doing. It has to be a process, not just a reminder.
