Trac is great and plugs in really easily to SVN. It's at least worth playing around with since so many open source projects use it. I wrote a Django middleware that uses Trac's xmlrpc plugin to automatically create Trac tickets for errors. I'm sure it's just as simple to do for whatever you're using.

The repository support let's you do things like refer to a ticket in a commit message which then gets associated with said ticket (or even changes the status of the ticket as soon as you commit the bugfix).
I could go on and on... but you get the point.
Here's a demo where you can give some of the things a try:

#16Post-its on a whiteboard.
You probably meant this as a joke, but I have a friend who is hyper-organized with all of her to-dos on a whiteboard... different sections are different things/different priority levels. Maybe we will hack together a Wii whiteboard Johnny Chung Lee style and use virtual post-its! ( http://johnnylee.net/projects/wii/ )
