This may or may not have been posted before but this is something I use and it has made the workflow go alot smoother. I use Fl Studio but I am sure something similar works.
The trick I use is that when I think of something I would like to do in a certain section of a song but I don't know how at the time or just didn't have the time at the moment. I would create another pattern but I would rename it to something I want to comment on. For example in my mind I think a drum buildup would work nice to introduce a certain section of the song but I would like to continue working my melody first. I would create a pattern, fill it with nothing, rename it too " 4 bar Drum build up into new section" or something like that and paste it on the track line that relates to it. So in this case it would go on or near the drum track line.
This might help you when you have so many ideas about a section but don't have the time right away and you do not want to forget about it.
