I’m currently using Gmail for my email (I’m more productive with all my emails directing to the same place); FreshBooks for billing; and playing around with both Basecamp and Project Pier for project management — they’re both very similar, but the To-Do list integration works well with the way I work.

I don’t have to discipline to keep proper To-Do lists on paper — I just end up with scrawled notes on various scraps of paper, when invariably get lost!

I can’t live without MacJournal, although I’m pretty sure it wasn’t intended for the manner in which I use it. While FileMaker Pro is great for database info, my client notes often stretch far beyond what would work easily there. Instead, those go into MacJournal, where each client has their own folder, allowing endless notes and additions.

Bought it for my blog…turned it into a virtual file cabinet. It’s a Godsend.

Kudos on mentioning FreshBooks. That’s another one I can’t live without.

i use Toggl (http://www.toggl.com) every day to keep track of projects i’m working on for later entry into my time reporting tool. It also offers some collaboration and more advanced time-keeping features that I’ve not used before. The software is free and they have an Adobe AIR app that i can run locally, along side the web interface.

Invaluable tool: Google apps!

I regularly use this to share documents and revisions with clients, and it works wonders!
