How I did it: The CEO of my company introduced me to GTD or "Getting Things Done" by David Allan.  I had been using 43things for years, and never realized that the concept came from this book.  I read through the book and realized I had a very bad system for organization, and I would rely on my memory to keep things in order, and thus I would fail and nothing would be in order.   In the GTD methodology you create a system to keep these thoughts, ideas, and concepts, and then you prioritize them in your 43 folders.   I've also found that there are some great apps to also manage these processes (I use "Things" for Mac).  To be efficent in your work, you don't need to be fumbling around doing the same thing over and over.  A good system will help you organize yourself, and free up your mind to be creative rather than doing the mondaine.
