Mine is called SCRATCHPAD.md. :D
Writing down the brainstorm stuff is important to me because if I don't write it down, I am tempted to drop what I'm doing and work on my ideas or else lose them. If I went and implemented every random idea that popped into my head, I'd never get anything done as was the case for me in the past. I write these huge long essays to get my ideas and frame of mind fully described and that usually satisfies me to where I don't have to drop everything and implement the idea right there.
