Thanks

Use both.
When you get stuck with meditation then write everything down. When you feel overwhelmed that you've written too much and feel lost in a sea of information, then that's when you meditate to let your mind consolidate and summarize it all into intuition, and you'll find that when you look back at what you've written you'll just feel like "duh of course!!!". And then when the light bulb goes off "I finally get it.. WOW!!" (and you feel awesome that you've figured it out), then that just means that the higher level ideas are done cooking. Then a flood of inspiration will come in where you feel like you've got to write every thing down again before you forget it.
After you've written tons, summarize that information on a "cheat sheet" (like steve's 33 tips on productivity) and then use meditation to reflect on what you've written on that cheat sheet.
For those who have followed my framework in my signature (especially the post about "creativity is the key to personal development") this means:
You have tons of low order IRs written out on paper. You have raw feelings that you've written down over the course of a week or so. It might take you an hour to read through it all again so that you can let your mind build of the inspiration to make new higher order IRs.
Instead, you read through all you've written once and make a 1 page or so cheat sheet to consolidate that information. That way you can repeat all those low order IRs to your mind 100x faster.
Also meditation is just replaying the lower oder IRs to yourself internally.
This will make you form higher order IRs/Intuition so much faster.
And like I said, you know when a higher order IR is done cooking when you can feel the light bulb go off in your head and you feel absolutely inspired, and then a flood of new ideas will come to you, so write them down, so that in a day or so when you have forgotten that you have that new IR in your head, you can just look back and see the results of it, and then use those written down thoughts to form an even higher order IR.
