I also use the calendar feature in Outlook Mail a lot. You can set it up with reminders that pop up at selectable time intervals

I use a reporter's notebook. Lots of space and will fit in your pocket. As to emails, I'd set aside a certain amount of time twice a day to answer them, and use the delete button a lot.
My son's a busy mechanical engineer, and he only answers personal (or inconsequential) emails 2-3 times a week.
