Does anyone have any good recommendations for keeping track of notes and/or task management? Basically, my problem is this: I take a lot of notes during the day, usually when I’m reading slush, because a thought will pop into my head and I jot it down so I don’t forget. Sometimes this is something I need to remember to do later, sometimes it’s just some idea to follow up on. But the thing is, I end up with all these pages of notes on my desk when I get home, and I want to get rid of them, but I don’t always have time to cross off every item on a list. And as a result, I end up with more paper on my desk than necessary, which leads me to sometimes forget to actually take care of items on my list that were more important.

So, what to do? Transcribe the list onto the computer when I get home? Using what? I’ve tried doing that with Outlook’s "tasks" feature, but it doesn’t work — I end up just ignoring everything that’s in there. Similarly, I’ve tried using the Google Notebook feature, which doesn’t seem to work for me either, despite the fact that I can keep it open in a tab at all times.
