I'm not normally a "woo woo" type person, but what helped the most was I just started referring to myself as organized to people I worked with. It honestly helped me a lot to become organized. From the "tactics" point of view, the two biggest game changers for me have been quick capture and weekly review. A la David Allen's "Getting Things Done" or "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" (both absolute game changer books for me). Whenever _any_ thought of something I should/need to do enters my head, I write it down in Trello on my phone. You could use the notes app, I just got used to Trello. This could be anything from a Youtube video idea, to needing to pick up paper towels from the super market. Every Sunday I take everything from Trello and schedule it out into blocks of time into my Google Calendar. During the week I just execute whatever's in my calendar. Some of that is meetings, some of that is focused work blocks, I'll even have "Date with Girlfriend" or "Watch Rick and Morty" in my calendar. I've found scheduling out the "fun" stuff is just as important as scheduling out the "career" stuff, especially if you tend towards workaholism like I unfortunately do. This means during the week I'm never thinking of what to do next. I just do whatever's on my calendar. If any thoughts come up I write them down, and the cycle repeats every week. Tools don't matter in this example. Honestly, I'd be more "organized" if I cut out Trello and just wrote it in Notion since I use Notion for work more often, but I'm just so used to quick capturing with Trello I keep doing it. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
