I'm such a geek. I woke up somewhere between 2:30 and 3:00 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. I didn't want to wake the house up with the sounds of sewing, so I hit the computer.
As I was sitting here, I started thinking about all the sewing projects I want to do in the next few months. And what did I do? I whipped out my handy-dandy MS Project and started scheduling out what I want to do when.
Actually, I think this may turn out to be helpful. I pay attention and get things done much more quickly if I have a plan written down and have deadlines (even if they are only self-imposed deadlines). And having everything down in MS Project will let me see how inserted and removed projects effect my overall timeline.
Gah... sometimes I kill me.

I think that's a wonderful idea. Of course, I'm a geek, too. But that's not a bad thing. =o)
Well, it gets better (worse?).
You can also track materials and material cost in MS Project, and you can create new tables to do custom tracking of things like alterations made.
I could essentially use MS Project as my "Project Notebook" for almost all aspects of my sewing projects.
The only thing it can't do is hold swatches for me. But, I could keep a simplified "hard copy" project notebook for that.
