I write things down. I still remember how to use a pen and paper. I use spreadsheets in Excel. I also have a dry erase board on the wall next to me set-up like a calendar with various projects written in for myself and client work. I'll back important files up and burn them to CD. I developed a system and a routine early on and stuck to it.

I can be so anal about being organized. I'm probably too organized. LOL! I also can't stand a cluttered desk. If my desk is all messed up and/or the room I'm working in, I'm not really that productive until I clean it up. The rest of my house, I don't mind clutter so much. Actually, it's not really my desk. Early on, I left my kitten sleep in one corner of my desk. She has matured and developed the cat attitude. It's her desk, I just borrow it. She's fine because that is her corner of the desk and she sticks to it, but when it comes to stacks of papers or just stuff, I can't stand it.
