If you're more a more visual thinker, you might consider Personal Brain.
It's a mind-mapper, but better than any other I've tried - you can easily establish categorized relationships between elements in a non-linear way that normal text/word files don't really permit. I've used it a lot in game design.
For example, I'll have top-level categories like Characters, Locations, and Timeline. My characters Luke and Vader are children of the Characters node. Luke has two sibling nodes of Hoth and Ep5. Hoth, of course, is a child of Locations and Ep5 is a child of Timeline.
Then each node has an RTF file that comes up when it's selected in the view.
The only thing the application's no good for is outputting data for presentations. However, if it's just intended for your own organization purposes, it's great.
