Scientists with active research programs I have a question for you. I am starting sabbatical in February and I’d like to spend some time organizing my research. What are your favorite tricks, large and small, for being effective in research?

@jegpeek For large projects with lots of multi-track/multi-reaource engineering I prefer Pert charts. I find tracking progress easier on a wall size printout in that form. Most of the agencies I work with want Gantt charts though. Software that does both well is hard to come by. So I mostly end up using Project with Gantt. For small projects a picture of a list on a white board recreated as necessary often suffices.

@jegpeek I should add that Project is awful and no same person would use it voluntarily.
