I do the same thing with a legal pad... it's just a running log of ideas I want to do. New stuff is appended to the bottom, so I can tell how old an idea by where it is on the page.
A lot of stuff never actually gets done (sometimes the idea no longer makes sense or isn't important in light of new ones), but I think the big advantage is getting the stuff out of your head. There is a lot of mental effort involved in holding on to several ideas at once. If you write them down, you don't have to constantly keep them in mind, so you can focus on actually doing something.
