Sounds like you need more help managing your management than your help files.
Nothing(?) you can do with them will help when the target keeps moving.
Maybe others on the list can make more practical suggestions; I can only offer
condolences.
Sorry :-{

I am currently working on a Help system for a very complex piece of
software.
. . .and secondly, my project leader keeps changing my priorities.
This constant to-ing and fro-ing is creating an organizational
nightmare.
I am finding myself having to go over the same ground over and over
again as I'm am ordered to switch from one task to another, willy-nilly. I
also find myself loosing track of where I am.
