It's amazing what a pen can do. I am by no means Felix Unger, but there are two changes I've made that have helped immensely. 1) I acquired a very good pen to use at work, which has me writing down more and more stuff. All of my meeting notes are well organized, work results available. Simply because I take the time to write them down in a structured manner. 2) I've started carrying my man bag. Which, in the end, means I always have pen and paper anywhere I go. Being able to write something down at any time has made a huge difference. If you're anti-purse, just try to carry a pen and a small pad of paper.
They aren't magic bullets, but I've found the simple use of pens to be a good catalyst towards organization.
