Ah yes, the email thing. When I get to work, I open an email form and type bits and pieces into it pretty much all day long and then send it to myself at the end of the day. I'm the opposite with things written on paper, though... I'm encouraged by the actual act of crumpling up a piece of paper and throwing it away as a "used" idea... there's something very tangible about that simple act that makes me more likely to write something. My actual paper journals? Not so much... and that has pretty much been reduced to use as part of keeping "morning pages" (Julia Cameran/The Artists Way).
