Sometimes, creative people have to force themselves to be organized. I actually like organization, it makes me calm (everything's done, all my info's right here, I have somewhere to doodle, you get the idea). I've used many systems over the years, and here's but another new one. It's called the Hipster PDA. It was introduced to me by the guys at 43 Folders. A full description is located here.

Essentially, it's a stack of note cards. You can expand the set with custom templates. Build your own case. Decorate it. Develop a system. It just gets crazy.

If you're intrigued, if you'd like to see how for it's gone for me, I invite you to view my Hipster PDA photoset (on Flickr).

Now, I haven't completely abandoned my Sony Clie. It's still great for reading AvantGo webpages (especially at night), organizing my calendar and contacts, and viewing photos. But there's something great about tangible paper. It makes you feel more accomplished to physically check it off the list, you know? Try it. You may like it.
