Getting organised is hard to do. Online tools might help but I haven't found the ONE that will intergrate all my activities, lists, thoughts, events and people. I think this is because they can't be tailored enough to your individual needs, which is one of the keys to staying organised - you have to do it you own way otherwise you will revert back to your old wicked ways!
I use Tada for my lists and I find it very helpful. You can add several lists then tick things off as you go. You can share your list with others. I like that Jotlet has a calender with it as well. But I found it slow and a bit clunky. I certainly wouldn't be moving from my Yahoo organiser to this.
I found Plaxo better than jotlet and better than tada in some ways. But I don't really want to socialise through this website so it won't replace my Yahoo calender which can send me emails as reminders of when events are coming up and allows all the functionality of plaxo but with email. I suppose if all your people were on plaxo and you could just send messages the same as emails it might be ok. But again, I found it slow. I like the Calender, Tasks, Notes functions.
I still need a pen and piece of paper when I'm in the car or in a bar and I have a brillant idea! Which by the way, happens ALL the time!

I too have yet to find the perfect organising tool. Iuse tada for lists (tho rememberthemilk is ok)and snappages for my calendar (i can colour code it using my own peculiar system).
Mind you I haven't found the perfect diary yet either - obviously a niche market for a couple of librarians?
What about an online & paper integrated diary? I have lots of detail on the computer that I then have to write into my diary. What if you could log on to your 'diary' and enter things similar to tada, calenders, etc for that day/week/month and then print them off to stick in your filofax to actually take to meetings etc.
