I'm one of those people who can't get anything done without a to-do list. If it isn't on the list it doesn't exist.
Notepad Method:
When I'm programming I've been keeping notepad open with a list of to-do's for my current project. I'll constantly re-arrange these based off priority and I cross them off and move them to the completed section when I'm finished with that particular task.
Code Comments:
Some programmers pepper their projects source code with:
// TODO: Fix this completely atrocious code before anyone sees it
Plus, I know that there are some tools that show you a list of all TODOs in your code as well.
Website Task Tracker:
- Remember The Milk
- Backpack
- Manymoon
- Voo2do
- Gmail Tasks
- TeuxDeux
- TodoDodo
- Ta-da lists
… and many more
What have you found to be the best method of keeping track of your to-do lists for multiple projects?

Like others, I pepper them about my code, but I use the warning directive to generate a compiler warning too:
This way I can still search for "TODO" but they also shout at me whenever I build.
