Pickle Jar Theory of Time Management
A List Apart has an article on time management called THE PICKLE JAR THEORY - it's remotely near to what I do to get all my junk done (people are constantly commenting about how they can't believe I do everything I do). The first time management I ever started was PAINLESS SOFTWARE SCHEDULES which, with some modification, worked wonderfully for my daily life as well. I keep all my notes, thoughts, and TODO's using OMNI OUTLINER (under OS X), which lets me sort by priority and/or duration. Having unlimited space to add notes to each item is handy as well, as I can jot down quickie "don't forgets" without messing up my display (as I would with Excel).
