MindManager has become my favourite planning and organisational software. Prior to having it I used a combination of Email folders, Outlook Tasks and Appointments to document daily & project plans & activity. MindManager is now the tool I use as it can pull together all sorts of documents, web links, email addresses, notes and tasks.
It allows you to organise them into a coherent and flexible plan. It can push or pull data from Outlook (and other office app's) so now my workflow is tending towards creating tasks in MindManager and only planning/booking time & resources in Outlook.
Will write more about that later but recommend you have a look at this review: it’s a good introduction.
