I know there is a name for this kind of "writing", but I just can't think of it at the moment. Basically, most of my notes are endlessly long ramblings that can go from one place to another in a heartbeat, have almost zero punctuation and make use of a bunch of made up rules, which would make no sense to other people.

You can think of this like brainstorming, with me simply wanting to put everything "on paper" before I forget or lose my train of thought. Understandably, though, sorting such notes is a bit of a nightmare. Extracting the various tidbits of relevant information from each note, structuring them properly, cutting down on the note, putting various notes of the same type together... it's annoying, and my notes are all over the place.

Is there some workflow or program that could help me sort this out properly? One made specifically for these kinds of notes? My biggest problem I think is I want to be able to take a note, clean it up and then put it in its right place, without having to cut and paste texts everywhere. Think word, but you can move paragraphs up or down or drag them somewhere else.
