    Pick one tool and get used to it.

    Since clients insisted, I've used Evernote, Mindmeister, Basecamp, and a slew of others. For myself, I dump everything into my Google Calendar: if it isn't in there, it's not happening. I also use a spreadsheet, which I create a new tab for every month. I like to keep it simple...and my plans are mine, so there isn't much need for collaboration.

    The worst idea is to have a bunch of these things going simultaneously, and try to handle all your work spread out over the different platforms. You'll never keep it straight.

    Submit to ONE all-powerful app, follow what the app says to do, and don't think you're smarter than the app. In factory operations, there's this inventory management problem that comes up in MRP-driven environments. You have this sophisticated and far-reaching computer system pulling in parts from bills of material and every time there's an order to be placed, you find this guy who has override authority adding a few more parts to his order "just in case." Which wouldn't be a problem, except EVERYBODY is doing that. And now stock levels are wonky and things are getting out of control.

    Don't let that be you. Put all the activities into the one platform, and trust that platform.

      Hi!

      Organizing your self is vital!

      It allows you to relax and make steady process, and helps you retain information better.

      I use evernote to organize my self

      So hopefully my reply will set you in the right direction!

      First of all I would strongly recommend you check out New York times best selling author "David Allen"

      He is all about productively, and organization,

      I have managed to organize all aspects of my life both business and personal (in evernote) using his theories and systems.

      This Is His Website:

      Getting Things Done®, GTD® and David Allen & CO | Home


      and what you are looking for is his book. "Getting Things Done"


      In that book he explains how to set-up a system of organization that is scalable and user friendly.

      he mainly talks about it in a physical format. like using filing cabinets

      but the same system and ideas can be use in a digital format using evernote.



      Here is the video that helped me set-up my system in evernote

      That video will give you a brief of what David Allen's system is all about, but I still highly recommend you read the book.

      because this stuff is WAY TOO IMPORTANT to just rush through it.

      If you are not organized then, information overload will be a common theme in your life especially if you are working online,

      where it is our job to collect and process information.

      Ever sense I started organizing my work and life with this system

      my job as been a lot easier and I have been able to make steady process on all of my goals.

      Hope that helped
