I actively try not to "manage" my life. If some part of life is too complicated to manage without a tool, that part of life has to go. To keep track of any temporary complexity I use a hard-cover notebook that keeps track of the complexity until I find a way to eliminate it. The goal is to build abstractions so that the details don't matter. Managing detail is a trap. Complexity and "managing" said complexity is a code smell.
