Hey, everyone! Happy Nano! I just wanted to let you all know about an awesome FREE software that I use just about every day with my writing, even with the non-fiction (articles) I write. It's called FreeMind, and it's an excellent brainstorming program. It's fairly simplistic, and with a little tinkering, you'll have it down in no time. I have a file saved for each of my manuscripts, and now for my NanoNovel.
Also, a book that I think is priceless is The Writer's Little Helper. It has short chapters, which helps my short attention span. What tools or tricks do you all use that make a big difference?

Here's a screenshot of my NanoNovel file. I expanded some of the points so you can see how it looks.
