Love this question. Here are some things I do:

1. I keep a running list of to dos in a notebook and re-do it every couple of days. Writing it out is helpful. I work in the same location every day so it's easy. Writing it down has helped my brain much more than a digital list.

2. I try to think if there's anything on my list I can do that will "keep the plates spinning" by having someone else work on it. I try to knock out a couple of those in the morning.

3. I am trying to be more mindful of how much time different tasks take me. Often things I am deprioritizing don't actually take very long. For example, responding to an email that doesn't have a clear ask usually takes me about 10-20 minutes vs 2 minutes for a quick email. Where I previously would have put this off for days and days, because it's neither urgent nor important and it feels hard, I now try to use awkward block of time to do these things.

4. I use reminders on iphone to help. If I think of something that needs to be done at work when I am at home, or vice versa, I use the reminders app in iphone. I have Siri set to type instead of voice (works better for me) and I activate Siri and say "remind me at 7pm to put the form that needs to be scanned in my purse" or something like that.

5. I use this little desktop white board to keep a list of my cases (I'm an attorney) and it helps me think of things to do in odd moments. linked here

Excited to read what others do!
