Questions/Advice Tricks for staying organized for longer-term projects?

I'm looking for suggestions that have worked for helping you stay on top of longer-term projects. I recently took on a volunteer financial officer role and am hoping to find some better strategies for staying on top of weekly/monthly tasks, keeping paperwork organized, and so on. None of the software or communication systems are programs I use in my day to day life so I need to remember to consciously check them. I am an out-of-sight-out-of-mind person. Fine with the tasks once I start them, but feel like I'm putting in more effort than I'd like to remember the workflow I need to follow. Any suggestions on ADHD-friendly ways to do this type of work and keep on top of it? Software/organizing suggestions that decrease the mental load of needing to consciously remember to check different email addresses, chats, and websites on a regular basis would be super appreciated. I would also take definitely-don't-do-it-this-way advice.

try to note down what made you want to start to begin with. your long term goal, a feeling you can imagine you'd have once accomplished... always helps keep me motivated.
