How do you stay organized?

don't be your self.

1) File folders - I will seriously break out and label a manila folder for a project that only requires like two sheets of paper, just so it's easier to go through piles or drawers of info I need to go through quickly.
2) At the start of the day, if I know i have many small tasks to finish, I ALWAYS keep a list of these tasks and cross them off when I'm done. It's so much easier to see a fully crossed off list at the end of the day and know all is well as opposed to trying to remember it all in your head.
(In fact, I want a program that will let me do this on the desktop of my PC (but not be Outlook based) like an interactive desktop)

Good luck!

I have this one folder where everything goes. Then, when a client asks to see something, I reach in and pull something out. That's when they usually launch into their "This ain't right. wtf?! There's no cat food in my pain reliever ad.." horseshit. And then I launch into my "Ok, which one of us is the designer here? Don't pester me with your pedestrian details" diatribe. Works pretty well.
