First is to figure out what I need to do. For my kind of work, what
kind of research do I need to do? How many interviews do I need to do
for my story? Are they being supplied by the client or do I have to dig
them up on my own? If the last one, where do I go? (I most work with
Medical stuff and have people I know at Medical Schools, the big doctor
groups (like American Medical Association). I have to write it. Is there
anything I have to do after I write it but before I submit it (for
example one of my magazines wants to give the people I interviewed a
chance to look over their quotes in the context of the article.
Obviously what you need to do will be different from mine.
I then look at the deadline and work back. I know that I need to have
the research and any hunting for people to interview set-up by one date,
the interviews set-up by another, the interviews done by a third, etc.
etc. etc. ,
What technicals do you use?

I use mainly a regular calendar and the calendar on my Yahoo. The
calendar I write down the deadlines for the parts and the deadlines for
the final. I also write down WHEN the interviews are being scheduled
for. All of the above I also put on the Yahoo calendar and it
automatically e-mails the day and a couple hours before the deadline as
a reminder.
Hope this helps.
