A better command (IMHO):
du . | sort -n | tee sizes.out
It will display on the screen, and to a file called sizes.out a list
of every directory from the current directory on sorted by size. I
use this to figure out what home directories are eating up space =)

So how does one output this to a text file?
That command is only going to show you 1 level deep (the '-d1'
part). Running it only once won't give you all the info you need to
make a determination. Dumping it to a text file won't really tell
you anything.
If you change the depth to 3 or 4, that might be worth dumping to a
file. You'll have a pretty long list of stuff to wade through.
