I find it easier to use pen and paper. I write a schedule every night of what I need to do the next day.

On my ghostwriting projects, I have a planner book so that I can keep track of where I am at with my clients, when the projects are due, etc. I can check them off as I complete them.

This works very well for me!

I too, use a pen and paper for my daily projects. However, I am a master at creating excel spreadsheets to track processes.

I use mindmaps as well for brainstorming, and planning out projects. Check out this free software. You can create up to 7 for free and it has crazy cool features. You can embed youtube videos, etc. and they'll play right inside the map.
Mindomo - Web-Based mind mapping software

Then, for all my list of tasks, I use a Mac app called Things. It's simplicity is excellent!
Things - task management on the Mac

Oh, and try not opening your email for the first 4 hours that you work. Do it! It will cause major anxiety for the first week or so but will subside after you realize how productive you're being when you start the day getting right to tasks.

Cheers!
Jay

Gee, I wonder why everyone presumed you were talking about your business

This is easy put all your bills in a hat and when the creditors call and say they haven't be paid, just tell them you haven't pulled their name out of the hat yet, they'll understand.

  Don't laugh at me guys. This is the progression. Sometimes my brain does not have enough harddrive room. I run out of gigs very fast So I write my goals on my hands with ink first. Yes the original Palm Pilot. I need to see them constantly as a reminder to myself and to maintain my focus and clarity. It's a bit excessive but it works for me. From the hands it goes to the whiteboard in my office. From the whiteboard it goes into a mindmapping program. This is the best way for me to stay on track.
  
  Thanks

Try getting a daily planner to log your daily activities and I find it easier to plan things just using a pen and paper. I keep and maintain a schedule log every night of what I need to accomplish the next day. In doing my ghostwriting, I typically have my own planner log so that I can keep track of where I am with my clients and affiliates, so I can check them off each activity as I finish it. This makes for a very efficent work practice every day! Hope this helps!

Just saw you mentioned organize your finances. You know what, I have used microsoft money and quicken. I'm just not disciplined enough to use those. Quicken seem to be the one I used the longest. For me the learning curve to use them was too much. I'm the type of person that wants to understand all the features to make sure i'm using the software effectively. Just didn't have time to do that. So what I do is keep a notebook and at the begining of the month write down what I owe and what I need to pay off for business and personal. That way I have easy access and I can write notes on the fly. But for software can't really give you a clear cut answer.

Thanks

I have a folder for Accounts Payable.

Paper bills go in it and then after they are paid they get a stamp and get put in the back of the folder behind the paid divider.

Everything else is paypal or amex.
