My position sounds very similar to yours, and 3 months ago, I could have written your entry.  Using my calendar, I entered the FINAL DUE DATE on Project A-  then I entered each step I needed to complete, and back tracked and entered each step on my calendar based on time to complete. And did this for each project coming up. Instead of Mail 500 calendars- I had manageable deadlines of Monday- run labels, Wednesday- apply labels for 1 hour, Friday apply labels for 1 hour. Using a block of time of 1-2 hours, keeps me focused, and I can get more done that way than trying to do it all at once.  I also divide work when I'm at my best.  Spreadsheets and gathering e-mail addresses I'd do in the morning, applying mailing labels, I'd save for the afternoon when I'm not at my sharpest.

For updating spreadsheets, can you hi-lite the cells you've done? Then when complete, change the formatting back before sending?  Good luck!
