So, I went out and bought a huge glass whiteboard calendar and hung it on the wall right in front of my desk. Then, I try to plan out a month in advance articles and deadlines for individual posts or major tasks. As they are completed, they are simply crossed off.

Then to help keep things organized, I color code each item. I put a red dot in front of an about.com task, a blue dot in front of a prosper task, and a green dot for my blog. This visual cue really helps to scan the coming week and see what needs to be done.

The only other organizational tool I use is a regular paper notepad and keep it next to my keyboard. As ideas come, I jot them down and brainstorm. I use the paper to freely write ideas, and then use the big calendar to post deadlines.

It has helped tremendously over my past method of trying to use an electronic version of everything. The only problem is that I could still use more hours in every day.
