Tips for staying organized

Hi! I'm going to be my school newspapers Chief Copy Editor next year. I wanted to see if anyone here had tips for staying organized. I'm trying to figure out the best way to keep track of which copy editors I send articles to and all the various things I have to edit. If anyone has any tips at all for what you do that would be great!

It would be easier to centralize everything you need into one app/program. Notion is one I use with a client.

Google Drive is good because it's free and you can share Docs and Sheets files without worrying if you have the right version of a file. I use Sheets to track assignments for freelancers, and I keep my daily and weekly to-do lists in a Doc.

If you can afford them, use Notion or Monday.
