I type. Writing is more flexible, but I've found it's way easier to organize/edit and refer back to ideas if you type them.
Nope, I find it distracting.
Nope. I do Sufi practices which are way better.
Only rarely. I find the ideas I'm working on are difficult for most people to understand or see the relevance of.
If you mean, write down (or type) ideas and insights, then yes.
Whenever I have an insight I write it down. Sometimes I look over past notes if I need inspiration. You can't schedule inspiration.
I've been using Evernote on my phone.
I find the absolute most important thing is to write. everything. down. Roald Dahl was describing his creative process and mentioned that people get ideas all the time, but they lose them because they don't write them down. It also helps you to clarify your thoughts and "make space" for new ideas.
And, btw, I mostly work on what I like to call "mathematical philosophy", including socionics.
