The notebook method seems to be the preferred solution here, which is what I use as well. I'm lucky in that I'm always taking notes in my professional life, so no one thinks it's odd that I carry a Moleskin or that I'm always writing in it. Though to be honest, I don't write down all of my ideas as they usually stay still until I sit down to write. What I have to write down as it's happening is snippets of scenes, pieces of dialogue, and new ways of phrasing exposition and description. Those are the items I hate to lose, so I always stop what I'm doing and write them down. (Except when I'm in the middle of talking or teaching, of course. Again I'm lucky in that I have an excellent memory so as long as I can get it down in an hour or so, I'm good.)
