I sport an ever present clipboard with plain white paper and attached pencil in my office. I use it daily and find that nothing beats a hand-written daily list done first thing in the AM or before leaving the office the night before. It's also great for ready note taking when I'm on the phone. I keep about a week or two of notes in the clipboard which makes for easy access to the stuff I'm actively working on...

When I started this job, I immediately knew I'd be lost without a way of keeping track of all the things people shove across my desk, so I began keeping my dated to-do list on a small white legal-style reporter's notepad, crossing off things as they're done. The list has two halves—the top half is "do today or as soon as possible," the bottom half "long-term to-do." Each list item has a number, not to denote importance but just so the item doesn't get lost on the page and get ignored. I also take it to meetings and devote an entire new page to each meeting. Nice thing is, these notepads are (at least currently) provided free in office supplies. This is EXACTLY what I do.
