Combination of Todoist [1] and Google Calendar. To make up for my poor memory, I've started to put everything I have to do in them.
For example, I have annually recurring tasks in Todoist to get Father's/Mother's Day gifts two weeks before the actual days and then separate tasks to call my parents on the actual days.
While it has been very effective for me, it might be leading to a Google-like effect [2] where my memory seems to be getting worse because I know I have a crutch.
I am also trying to maintain a daily routine (to make sure I do important things like exercise) and to finish unpleasant tasks in the morning before all the fun stuff.

- 5_minutes 9y agoThere was an article last week out there about people with bad memory, for it not being bad, but rather a sign that they focus and find alot of things - not important enough to remember. I can't find it right now, the Google results show alot of well-ranked SEO-optimised sites instead about Alzheimer.
