I have a running list on google doc where I write down every and anything that pops up in my mind throughout the day that I consider a to-do or inquiry. I organize the document by day and start with three categories: high priority, medium priority, and low priority. I tend to develop anxiety when I think I might forget a novel idea or task because of the other obligations I have throughout the day. Once I write down the to-do/inquiry, I vow to put the thought away until later in the day when I have down time to get more in depth. This has really helped me stay focused on tasks more deeply.
I also maintain a bullet journal. Like others have described, once you get past the frills and truly customize it's functionality, it becomes a very powerful tool for accountability. If you are a paper and pen type of person.
