For the last couple of years I've used GQueues Pro (i.e. with Gmail integration). Whatever comes in by email I can allocate to a project or person and add a reminder with a couple of clicks. It's great.
At first, I had a mental block about it. I used it to take notes, but not much else. Couldn't see the potential. One day, the veil was lifted and I realized what it could do. Now, my life is in Evernote.
Basecamp has saved my sanity. I couldn't really get into Evernote. I don't know why other than it just didn't click with me, but Basecamp made sense to me right away.
For me, it's Basecamp, for others it's Evernote... there are many methods.
I think the second most important thing about being organized is to make a plan and stick to it. Even if you're just writing things down in a notebook - if you're consistent you will be 1000% more effective then just doing things as they arise.
The most important thing about being organized to to start *now*. Not today....*NOW*.
