I have 3 main methods i am working on but also i get ideas for side shoots all the time. Also as i learn new stuff about one method i realise it could apply to one other the others so have ideas to mix and match and stuff.

I find i can get swamped down wiht all the ideas, jakc of all trades master of non type deal.

Im getting better at thinking which is most important tho. I said to myself which one is most likely to producse results quickest and work from there.

How do you guys work it?

Look up 'GTD method' and 'time management quadrants'

I use http://www.getontracks.org/ to schedule tasks and divide them into my four quadrants and Cherrytree to write detailed notes on methods.

Well, it's not that difficult, you just need to:
- Keep a to-do list
- Set goals
- Avoid procrastination
- Prioritize
- Break down tasks
- Revise your work constantly
If you manage to do that, you should be on a good path

I use a big desk with a lot of scribbled A4 papers. Writing something down helps me think. When I get ideas I don't force myself to organize it. I then reread it the next day and if it doesn't seem like shit (apart from my handwriting) I basically do what DrFreemna said above.

I use MediaWiki for the polished structure of my plans. I put it on a subdomain and share it with anyone who needs to know.
