Getting organized -- what's your method?

["Elizabeth O'Shea" <elizabeth -dot- oshea -at- virtualaccess -dot- com>]

It's interesting how many of us technical writers use low-tech methods in
addition to technically-based methods to organise our projects. I am
particularly fond of white boards myself (although I rarely have them): they
are easy to update, easy to view, and the only thing likely to go wrong is
you run out of marker or someone maliciously wipes it out.

Also, I notice a lot of people build redundancy into their system: to do
lists, Outlook, project schedules, and so forth. I do this too, and I've
sometimes thought I had the redundancy because my system wasn't as clear and
streamlined as it could be. But it appears I'm not the only one who
replicates project information across a number of different management tools
and formats.
