Getting Things Done The Art of Stress Free Productivity by David Allen presents a system for handling all the "stuff" that you have to do. It simply consists of disciplined collection, classification, storage, and action. Most of us already do these things, but not always very effectively. This book helps.

Allen insists that everything, personal and professional, be included in your organizational system to keep things from falling through the cracks or causing distraction when you should be working on something else.
