I used an old tool that I still use with modern day "tools". The MUST do stuff I Always put on a physical calendar of the type shown, so its ,more or less "in my face" . its faster than spending time making a spread sheet and then keeping it updated. All these need a is a good old fashion check mark. There are programs ( for phones anyways) that will take an email or text and make it an "event" which can be alarmed, notify, etc. I use the The Lined tablet on the desk, and cross them off. I re do it next Am and add in older to the new one. If you use this set up in a "day timer", you have wasted your time.." outta site= outta mind".
Get up to date on whats spam, and personal, etc in email folders.
I find that the more you know as and Engineer, the more others rely on you for small things they could look up, but are too LAZY too. So phone/email support for "codes", part numbers, and strengths, and tolerances, MUST end....
This Will take a little work, but "in your face" seems to be best for anyone over 30!! I have got a bunch of others on this method and things get done, and anyone can see at any time whats been done or not. just my Opinion of course...what everyone does themselves will usually be considered "best".
