Ask How can freelancers set up an organized system for tracking projects and deadlines?

[SuperAffiliateX]

I just started freelancing, and I'm already struggling to keep track of my projects and deadlines. I feel like I'm juggling too many things at once. Sometimes, I forget tasks or miss deadlines, which stresses me out. I've heard people use tools or systems to stay organized, but I don't know where to start. Should I use spreadsheets, apps, or just write things down?

I want something simple but effective. I don't want to spend hours managing tasks instead of working. How do you keep everything organized without feeling overwhelmed?
