Keeping it all organized

Can someone please share tips on how to keep all the work related to the sites organized? That's where I'm struggling the most right now. Is there a step by step plan for marketers on organization that's helpful?

    You mean how to organize your campaigns?

    It used to be a difficult task for me, but now I put everything to same template of campaign.

    For example, if I make a new blog I create a new folder and I put all the information related to that blog in there. I made my own templates to save login information, article directory logins, email accounts related to that niche, social networks and so on. In subfolder I would place all my content that is related to the project, in other subfolder - all the web files, in other - all media stuff.

    Niche everything down.

    What's important - keep organizing the stuff in the same pattern.

    Hope that help (at least it cleaned the endless mess on my desktop!)

      Yes, thank you, that's part of it. There's just so much to do and so much to keep up with.

    Oh, forgot to mention. I also have a paper binder (real one) that I use to store all my login and other information related to the campaigns.

    Each campaign gets its own sheet.

    And I put campaigns in alphabet, so it's really handy if I need any information fast, and I don't want to power up machine.

    And I find it keeps stuff more organized too!

    Something that I find very useful is creating a mindmap for the major projects that I do - those that involve a lot of processes.

    There are many software that can create such mind maps, free and paid. The important factor is that you will be able to put your ideas in a drawing which for a lot of people is more easy to understand and implement.

    I use a notebook too to keep track of passwords, site and project details and campaigns. I also rely heavily on a "to do" list.

    My constant mantra is, "simplify, simplify." That idea runs through all that I do. One small example: I use the Thesis template on all my sites. That kind of standardization helps me save time in adding/maintaining them.

    As a writer, I know first hand how easy it can be to lose track of necessary information and I can tell that trying to keep up with all the campaigns is headed down the same path but this is helpful advice. Thank you all!
