To-Do later notebook

I have a new plan for how to make sure that I procrastinate less. I'm sure that it is nothing new, but it is something I have never tried before and thought would be a good idea. Where I got it was in watching Criminal Minds a couple of days ago I noticed one of the characters was always tugging a small notebook out of his messenger bag and making a few motes as he listened to the others talk at a crime scene.

That made me think that a good plan for how to avoid doing things that would distract me from my work would be to jot down brief, say 25 words or less, notes to myself in a notebook to remind me of the things I want to investigate later on.
