I try to automate as much of my life as possible. Can't forget to do something or screw it up if it's done for you.

For me that means:

Writing a lot of scripts for work, because scripts are testable and reliable.
I setup Jira to create new tasks on a schedule.
I turn on desktop notifications for websites I frequent at work.
All my bills are on auto pay and my paycheck is direct deposited.
I setup Home Assisstant to turn lights on and off on a schedule.
Outlook and Teams notifications. I have them installed on my phone too so there's additional notifications.

For things I can't automate, I have to externalize that information.

I have a whiteboard to maintain my household tasks. It's sort of the "master list", I guess, of everything I need to do.
I have a Heros Journal that I use to plan my night. I pick three tasks off the master list and write them down, as well as anything else I need to do that night. I ask my wife if there's anything she needs me to do and if there is I write that down too.
At work I have Jira set up as master list, and i use a smaller paper notebook to plan my day. Also works if you find yourself needing a notebook quickly like for meetings or to not something down, or whatever. To make it fun and engaging I write in cursive so it's kind of novel.

And I use weed to make the whole thing work lol.
