I keep a list of things that need doing. I use alarms to give me a heads-up when something is supposed to happen or I have to change tracks. Without an alarm, I would miss meetings, appointments, and possibly food breaks.
At the beginning of the day, I try to have one to three largish goals for the day. I might break those into milestones for each goal. Or if I have lots of little things, I might have it broken up as three goals for the morning, three during the early afternoon, and three at evening.
I subscribe to the don't worry philosophy. If I can't affect something, don't worry about it. If I can affect it, either chose to or not to do something about it and don't worry about it.
I deligate (and follow up - again, prompted by an alarm or calendar event) where I can. In my personal life, I'm lucky to have a great partner who shares in the load by handling most of the domestic stuff.
I avoid multitasking. It is a great way to do multiple things poorly. If I have to switch gears, I try to leave some notes to help pick back up when I get back to it.
Though I've fallen out of the habit, daily weight and cardio training helps so much. Planning on getting back to that today, as it so happens.
Take down time. Liesure is important. A game of billiards. Sitting outside watching the scenery change. Reading a fun book. Play a game, video or board variety. Meet a friend or few for some hanging out.
