I sit down every single night and plan the upcoming day by making a simple list. I don't prioritize it, I just make it. This includes meetings.

Then, first thing I do in the morning is update my list based on what (if anything) changed the night before. I place asterisks beside the THIS HAS TO HAPPEN OR UHOH things. I even prioritize those.

Then, I schedule them into my day, before I start - based on estimating them. I follow through with those items, shutting off everything whilst working on the "must happen" list. I review the list and re-prioritize roughly mid-day, having come up for air at least once.

The problem I found over the years is that nothing is as quick, as limitless, and as fluid as paper. For this reason I use a Stalology B6 notebook.
