Easytrak is no guarantee against mismanagement. But you cannot manage a large program without software like it today. It is a project information management system that helps people develop a solution to a problem with many parts to track.
I usually make to-do lists with timelines, and pen and paper does the trick for me.
I keep a notebook of the things I need to get done in a day, week, month along with my overarching goals. Whenever I have a couple moments on set or on a plane, I work on ticking off my to-do list.
I'm a planner, an organizer. I write things down because you can visually check them off and see progress. Writing things down is a lost art. I've got sticky notes all over my apartment.
I use the default iOS calendar app. I've tried others, but it's my favorite, and I can't live without it. If it's not on my calendar, I'm not aware of it, whatever it is.
You get a checklist, and then you just sort of ride herd on it. It's just a few items on a single sheet of paper.
I always like to plan ahead of time and follow up.
I am methodical about my email inbox, and I always have a physical to-do list. Without those two things, I think I'd lose my mind.
On Sundays, I like to plan how I want to exit the week and what are the key things I need to get done that week. I list them, and then I do check-ins on them each morning.
I keep lists of names of people that I have met, a list of things to do day by day as well as a log of how my time is consumed throughout the day. It's a very important part of my personal discipline.
I use a really simple calendar program on my computer.
I'm a big list maker. But if I cross off too many tasks and it's hard to see the remaining ones, I have to start a new list.
Brain extenders are anything that get information out of our heads and into the physical world: calendars, key hooks by the front door, note pads, 'to do' lists.
I don't take things off. I either check things off or I add things.
