A few weeks ago I decided to rip apart my protoboard and build a schematic and PCB.  It’s always a good decision because it doesn’t take long and it gets rid of the rats nest.  It’s easy to do and design changes can be iterated incrementally instead of starting from scratch each time. 

There is some excellent open source schematic and pcb software called Kicad.  It’s a bit quirky like all pcb designers but once you get past that first bit, it’s great:
