I have never had goals, just some vague ideas like “work as a professional programmer” and “have kids,” both accomplished mainly by chance and luck. I use to-do list and calendar for short-term planning but mainly rely on memory, which gets less reliable the older I get. Nothing I would call a system, just the apps on my iPhone. I rely heavily on GMail search, I forward important emails to myself with keywords in the subject. I freelance so I juggle multiple client projects, but the key information ends up in GitHub.
