Seriously, I find it amazing that you still have the time to post wonderful tips on your blog, given your freelance gigs. Well, I schedule my time the traditional way – by writing it on a real scheduler/organizer ( nothing electronic ). Writing down stuff have worked wonders for me, reinforcing this habit of time-keeping. Although there are useful apps out there, I'd say it doesn't give me that 'reinforcement' I get in writing things down the old-fashioned way.

I just wanna say, that I just found your blog and I love it! The outlaw design is so refreshing from some of the standard blog designs I've seen. bravo!

So, I've freelanced for about 5 years now. I'm an organizational MESS. My client folders are messy and so is my inbox The only thing I keep organized at all is my recipts and my client log…for this I use Excel. Just because its straightforward enough for me to input whatever kind of data I feel is important.

I use only one computer, and I can't imagine trying to spread myself between two or three! eek!

My only method for keeping up with clients at the moment is a constant notepad infront of me to jot down a list..if I get a new client..I add them to the list..

I'm seriously interested if anyone has a "Organization Method" LOL

Its funny you say that. I actually did the exact opposite recently. Went from dual monitors back to just my iMac monitor.

I was feeling overwhelmed with two monitors and having so much going on.

Over the weekend I found a strong need for the use of triple monitors. I find that having an email application which allows the use of folders keeps me organized by project name. It has to be web based for me though, as I work from multiple computers.

I would also love to hear what methods and applications people use to keep organized.
