I use iCal for the office calendar plus a personal calendar that has  
maybe 2 events per week in it, mostly chiropractor appointments and  
airport pickups. I tried using the iCal task management but sort of  
fell off the wagon.

I use stickies to take notes and to start most task outlines.  
Depending on the task I will either go right from the stickie into  
writing code or putting something into the wiki, if it's really big  
and I know I'm going to have to go back to the outline I open Omni- 
Outliner and start an outline for the task and refer back to it. I  
don't usually keep track of whether tasks are done or not in  
omnioutliner, although I do have a column for it. I mostly just use  
it to fully outline a given project or task.

For any project that requires multiple documentation pages I use my  
wiki sandbox.
