Hi Jeff, Have you checked out Randy Pausch's Time Management lecture? Some of the ideas presented in it can be a little too detailed and time-consuming, but the most helpful idea I picked up on was making the TODO quadrant, where you seperate and prioritize tasks into: 1 - Urgent and important 2 - Important but not urgent 3 - Urgent, not important 4 - Not urgent, not important. Just having this grid on a post-it or on a pin-up board by my monitor really helped to provide a general map of my tasks and what/when it needed to be done.
