I keep it right next to my computer, which ever one I'm sitting at, and take it with me everywhere I go, to every meeting and every shoot. It holds it ALL together for me.

Occasionally, I use post-it notes. I'll stick them on my monitor before I go to sleep so it's the first thing I see when I sit down again to work. I also usually work with at least 2 computers at once. One for rendering videos or heavy work, another for mail, boards, little jobs.

That may not work for you, but that is what I have been using for 10 or so years, without fail.

The trick is, sticking to your list, whatever format you use. If you can't stick to your list, how you deliver the list is irrelevant. It takes a little discipline to stay on top of your list. If there are any short cuts, I've yet to find them.
