Up until about December last year, when a hard drive failure prompted me 
to move from Mandrake 9.0 to Ubuntu 04.10, I was using Tuxcards - 
essentially a structured notepad with an optional animated cactus 
growing up the side.

I probably would have kept with it but couldn't find an Ubuntu package 
and didn't want to mess about with rolling my own packages or using 
unsupported repositories while I was getting used to Ubuntu.

Since then, I've installed Freemind (I think I got it from Sourceforge), 
which is a mindmapping program. Rather than having a sequential list, 
I've got a map with four main nodes (in progress, waiting on me, waiting 
on other and meeting arranged) and drag, drop and edit individual tasks 
between them as required. I find it provides me a useful overview of 
what I've got on, especially because it is very flexible in expanding 
and contracting sub-branches.
