As a software junkie/ stats geek, I've become way more productive since I started using the free version of
Timesheet Xpress - the amount of useful work I could actually record having done seemed so pitiful in the begining that I could
only be motivated to do more
Furthermore, it shows me how I've divided my time, breaking it down as much or as little as I want to, and allows me to see when something last had my attention, thus feeding several neglected projects that might otherwise have died of starvation
For events, calendar, contacts and virtually everything else you've mentioned, I use
The Journal - (I also use it for journaling too. Radical, huh?
) It's not free, but is very cheap considering what you can do with it, and has quite a long trial period. I think I found this one after it got a mention on here somewhere.
Lots of people on the forums use PowerPoint to create vision boards, but I use MS Publisher. I just have a big landscape orientated page covered in a 'cork-board' type background, and paste any inspiring images I come across onto it as I go, resizing as necessary. I also use Word Art on it for the odd motivational word or snippet of phrase.
Even as geeky as I am, that lot's enough for me
