Mixed Media Task Management
I find that it's useful to use computer alerts and list on my phone, but sometimes it's necessary to write something down with a pen on a piece of paper. The act of typing versus writing has a completely different effect on me mentally. Making a list either way is satisfying, but actually checking off something on a real piece of paper is more fulfilling.
Phillip, Having a standard routine can work great. It's wonderful to develop a pattern to life that you can count on. Of course, as I'm sure you've experienced, life can throw you some curve balls. So it's also a great idea to be prepared for those as they come.

I use my calendar for my to do list, and it works well for the load I carry. I also have a very set routine, and depending on the time of day my class is, I will either work one of two routines that week. Both are flexible, but I can get my work done even with flexibility built in for student tutoring or last minute emergencies.
