I am wondering if anyone has found a tool that helps manage your copywriting projects?

Specifically, if you have 5 (or 15) projects on the go at all times - what types of tools, systems or spreadsheets have you found helpful to make sure everything is getting done on time, and on budget?

This is an area I have always "winged it" with but as I get busier it is getting more difficult to manage everything in my head.

Thanks for your help. Troy White

Brilliant ! The best tool anyone could ever use. Thanks Alan!

That really is good, Alan.

I use "Stickies" and have been for years.

I bought the one Alan suggested prior to your post about Stickies, Michel. I can't say anything about stickies, because I haven't tried them, but these post it notes are cool.

Alan, how do you set up your post it note bulletin boards? Troywhite, how do you set yours up?

Where I really needed help was in organizing and storing research found online, in emails - electronic information management. I've been trying a program called egems which is quite good. I've seen other 'freeform information management' tools around for less than half the price, but I like the interface.

Any comments or does anyone know of anything better?
