Oh, this is definitely _my_ set of tools, and invariably each person will have their own needs, and need to find/make their own tools for the job.
One tool I didn't mention was my cell phone. I can use it to record things on the fly when I'm not near the net. I can use the built in memo recorder or just call myself and leave a voicemail.
I'd like t point out that GCal does offer different levels of visibility to different groups. It's very good at letting you have multiple color coded calendars, and when you set sharing on them you can set which level of access, and I think that i also overrideable on a per-item basis. Truth is, I have a whole separate groupware calendar at work because of the calendar sharing we have implemented here already, and I draw a lot of my functionality wishes from that.
I can't speak to your e-mail process, not knowing it, but I have tons of folders, and I'm a ruthless filer/deleter. If my inbox gets above 20 messages I get antsy, and I prefer it under 10.
