Neil,
I can't recommend Deft enough. I have a capture template setup so that C-c
c and then k opens up a new org file under the Deft directory. This makes
it quick and easy to add a new note.

The deft part of the capture set is:

(setq org-capture-templates
      (quote (("t" "todo" entry (file "~/org/refile.org")
;; .....
              ("k" "KB FRAG" entry (function
                                    (lambda ()
                                      (let ((new-file (concat
"~/deft-notes/" (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%dT%H-%M-%S") ".org")))
                                          (set-buffer
(org-capture-target-buffer new-file))
                                       )
                                    )

                                             ))
              )))

HTH
