One of the most important pieces of the whole bit is the Clearly Defined Outcome. Once I started creating a marketing brief, THEN a proposal, I was all of a sudden getting more respect as a business AND i was getting more accurate quotes. It greatly reduced the amount of "Hey what about this, we can add this in, right? riiiiiiiiiiiight?" (for free usually). Now I use basecamp and my own system for keeping on top of my work, and I can't tell you what a difference its made in my business.

It's still in Alpha or Beta orrr...something. Anyway, I definitely have huge problems with staying on track and focused, and not panicing when the project becomes overwhelming. This is a great, simple, lightweight app and it has definitely helped me a lot. Thanks for the article. For Mac users there is an awesome app being developed called Things.
