Despite it might increase my level of geekiness, I've finally purchased a whiteboard for my home. It's one of those analog thingies that you write with pens on. I thought I didn't need one as a 21st century digital boy, but keeping track of my CPANXR todo-list on it is a lot easier than keeping a file somewhere on the disks.
I also bought 4 pens in different colors, so I use a very simple scheme to track what I've done and what is left. The color scheme looks like this:
Red = in progress
Green = finished
Blue = undecided
Black = dependencies (drawn as arrows between items)
I can recommend the whiteboard approach of project management. It sure has helped me.

And when, after doing some development, you want to unwind, you just take the lid off one of the pens and sniff?

Actually, I sniff on the pens before I code.. it usually produces better code =)Re:Whiteboard recreational model?

Next time you buy pens aim for models that fit in your nostrils so both hands are liberated for coding, a decent shop will let you test the pens.Re:Whiteboard recreational model?

I want to see a photo a photo of claes coding with a red pen in the left nostril and a green pen in the right nostril.
