Annual reports aren't that big. Use separate sections (as mentioned above), front and financials, that way if need be two people can work on it at once.
Use style sheets for everything, this will make your workflow faster. Use master pages as much as you can for running heads, folios etc.
The first annual report I did was a fucking melter, but that was more down to my inexperience and a boss hanging over me constantly wanting updates on progress. I have learned to truly despise AR's (having worked for a company who specialised in em, and having worked on about 15 in one year alone) but I can knock em out good-o if need be.
Don't get stressed, don't fudge the deadlines and if things look like they are going pear shaped tell someone fast, cos the longer you sit on it the worse the outcome.
Importantly, relax and try to enjoy it.
