How do you stay organized at work?
Last week, my supervisor asked all of us to list tasks in various categories...5 top priority items in primary job responsibility, 3 in secondary area of responsibility. My list in the misc/carryover section was over 30 items long. I used to keep a list and just cross things off as they were done, but inevitably something would get missed, and the notebook became more for note taking than for lists.
I'm on the Franklin Covey site, but have no idea where to begin. Any type of organizers or planners that I've ever seen are too small for my lists of stuff. What has worked for you?

Re: How do you stay organized at work?
I actually go "old school" and have one of those large desk calendars. ?I am an accountant so I have relatively the same cycle of duties each month, but they fall on slightly different days. ?I update my whole month at once on the calendar.
For other miscellaneous things, I'm a huge fan out Outlook Calendar...those pop-up reminders drive me batty until I can complete them and mark done! ?
Not sure if this will help you, but it's what works for me...?
i like to have a pocket calendar so i can through it in my purse and keep track of appts at work and at home! i know that you said you don't like things that are too small, but i got mine at office depot and each month is tabbed-which is excellent to keep track of each month at a glance. and then between the tabs, there are a couple of pages for each week-which has been fantastic for me to keep my lists!
good luck, i feel like organizing is a constant, ongoing process!
