I’ve used everything from Remember the Milk, a desk calendar, a wall calendar, Google, Outlook, what have you. I’ve found that keeping myself organized is easiest when the “list” is where I can see it – unless I’m on the computer ALL day, or have Google up ALL day, I don’t see it. I prefer the cheap and simple – a spiral-bound notebook and a binder with paper. Instead of buying a more expensive 3 or 5 subject notebook, I use sticky notes to separate topics…pretty archaic, but it works for me.

BTW, Deb, love the accent!

This looks like a better way than the post-it notes I plaster all over my computer.

It’s great to see another blogger starting to use video to get points across! I look forward to more vids…

I actually created more of a spreadsheet for managing my blog planning – I use Google Docs so I have a central copy wherever I am (between work and home computers). Makes it so easy to cut and paste when I need to – I don’t think I’ll ever go back to paper.

I use Google Calendar for other things like appointments.

Malie, I also use Outlook and synchronise it with my phone, for the same reasons. I find the two so useful in managing my contacts, schedule and notes/documents.

Hi, Deb – I’ve gotten used to the Outlook 2007 calendar. I like to be able to access and view everything in one centralized place – my email, my calendar with deadlines/notes, and contact info for clients/friends/family. I also prefer to use this method b/c all this info can be downloaded into my phone, which makes it even easier when I’m on the road and my laptop’s too bulky to carry.

Although I do use Google Calendar for some things, I actually use Side Job Track to keep track of my jobs. I like that a bit better, because it also helps me keep track of how much I’m making, and it makes invoices, too. And it’s free, so you can’t go wrong there.

I use a large week-at-a-glance daytimer to keep track of assignments.
