Keeping Yourself Organized
Beginners trying to develop their own websites will soon find the great need to become organized!
Unfortunately, for some of us, keeping and (staying) organized is a small miracle.
There are a few online tools that just might help in the endeavor however. Solution Watch has a great list of available to-do list and project management tools. I don’t totally agree with their top five list, but the list in total is a very helpful compilation. Backback, Basecamp and Ta-da Lists get a lot of press and are definitely worth anyones time to consider. However, they are not the only fish in the sea. The trick with any of these services is finding the one that works for YOU! So, I offer you my opinion.
For keeping your personal life organized (and maybe a few work items) consider Remember the Milk. It has one of the easiet interfaces I’ve seen in a while and is whipcrack fast. See my full review of RTM here.
For small scale project management, I think Voo2do is worth a look. I define small scale within the bounds of the independent developer up to a team of 3-5 people. I am not quite sure how well it will work beyound that size. I like the quick accessibility to the actual task list (one click!) and the ability to have sub-tasks/sub-projects.

UPDATED:
I would also add Tasks Jr. to this list. While it is missing some of the printing and exporting features I like, it is very easy to use and very speedy. Plus, it can be installed on one’s own server and not hosted with someone else.
