Need project management tool

I have articles at multiple stages of editing coming out my ears. Some of them haven't been written yet, some of them have but not edited, some edited but not spun, some spun but the spun not reviewed, etc. They are each at a different stage. I'm having a hard time keeping track of all of them.

You know how in excel you can move data to another column by dragging it?
I'm looking for a software that simulates the data movement in excel, but instead is made up of actual files. So I can move a file to a different column instead of making tons of deeper and deeper levels of folders in windows.

look for Microsoft Office OneNote
