To help small business owners along these lines, Carbonite is offering a free one year subscription to My Organized Biz readers. Here’s some information from them:

Have a lot of projects to keep track off with many deliverables and tasks? We have just the thing for you! Tomorrow we’ll open a contest to give away the 7-column BBB weekly fridge grid pad. It comes with 52 pages, so you can get a year’s worth of planning in.
The pad is 3-hole punched so you can put it in a binder. It’s also magnetic, made to hang on your fridge. But it’s perfect to put on the side of a metal filing cabinet. See a week’s schedule all in one glance, but broken up by project. …read more
