I remember coming across some comments on a LessWrong post (which I haven’t been able to find again) where people were discussing software they use to ‘organize’ their thoughts and help brainstorm—relating to this blog post because it’s a great way to help become better at your life (it’s way too easy to lose profound realizations in the back of your mind). Does anybody have software they recommend? - Google turns up a lot of sub-par programs.
Not sure if it is quite what you are looking for but I find Evernote very useful as a kind of digital memory extension. I use it to note down thoughts, ideas, links, quotes, book titles etc. for later review and organization. Not exactly organizing thoughts or a brainstorming aid but more a tool for offloading and organizing memory.

I have a lot of friends who use workflowy, and personally I used project maps and goal-factoring with [yED]{www.yworks.com}.
