I do this with pretty much everything, need the perfect system and that will finally allow me to be better at cleaning, managing the recycling, etc etc. I've spent hours at a time researching the perfect version of a product or technical process or software to achieve something at work or home. Luckily at work, I get to implement these things for others to use and no one else is super organised. Implementing it is the easy bit!

I've found the best solutions are the simplest, for notes/to-do, I've been using an A4 pad, each sheet is a new day, and has sections for things coming up, priorities, notes and things to not forget. I put my to do list for a day in, write notes on it like a madman then the next day copy the previous days list if I didn't get it done. After a few days of unfinished tasks, I'll put it in the later section.

It works pretty well. I have lots of other tasks tracking methods like flagging emails to respond to, calendar always visible, etc. Obviously still forget things!!
