I think that's a great idea, but something about the pencil (sm)
Something about the very act of writing something down on paper helps commit it to the brain. I'm a bit ADD myself (which the OP mentioned she had a problem with) and it seems to help me more if I physically write things down rather than enter them into a program.
For example, when I worked in an oustide office, I would sometimes think of things during the day that I needed to pick up on the way home, so got in the habit of keeping an ongoing list on a post-it note. Half the time I'd leave the note laying there on the desk, but would remember most if not all of the items I had written down anyway. I "got smart" and tried to keep a running list on the computer (so I could toggle over and not take my hands off the keyboard) and of course, I nearly always forgot to print it out before leaving the office. I would get to the store and not remember a thing I was planning to buy.
I just concluded that for me, old fashioned pencil and paper works better for things I'm going to try to remember or memorize. I thought maybe the OP might be the same way.
