I did finally put a white board in my office to keep track of open items on projects, when things have to be ordered by, etc... helped some. The emails are the hardest thing to keep track of though. I don't know of a system that will let you save them into an explorer folder though, sure could use one. My email tree is getting pretty long. Sometimes I take the last one that has all the back and forth and just save that one, it can take 10-20 emails doing reply alls to figure out one thing, if I saved each one the file would be huge.
We have one guy that's great at tracking everything, he keeps notebooks on all his projects, writes up reports from meetings, action items, prints emails to put in the books as well.
I hate him... not sure where he finds time to design. Does a lot of work at home I think. 8-5 is all they're getting from me.
