I'm finding myself busier than ever and would love to hear what tools you use to keep yourself organized. When I was in college, I used Google Cale...

I really like to use Google Calendar to manage my schedule and Google Keep for to-do lists. I also enjoy using real paper like post-it or simple notepads to remember what I've got to do on the day, once I got a task completed I just check-in it on the paper.
I had no idea there were checklists in Google Keep! I love it even more now.
Yes, it actually has. I discovered it a few days ago and I got suprised.
Bullet journal! That’s how I organize my life, tasks, projects, timelines, etc. I also use Diarly, a journaling app, to write and organize ideas, thoughts, etc. I try to write every day, what I did, what I learned, etc.
I mostly use Todoist and Scrumpy.
Scrumpy for breaking down my side project into proper tasks and following an agile/scrum structure.
This is done as follows:
Todoist for my daily tasks. Every night I figure out what I'm going to do for the next day and add them to Todoist.
Todoist contains not only my side project related tasks, but it's also everything else I need to do for the current day.
For example:
and so on.
+1 for Todoist
I use Google Calendar for events, a Trello board for general TODO things, and either an OrgMode file or another Trello board for each project I'm working on.
For small tasks, Google Keep works fine too!
I LIVE by my paper planner. Without it, I'd probably be a total mess. I always get one with day breakdowns so I can have my daily To Do List, and month overviews so I can write important things in a catch-all page.
I also use Trello to keep track of specific projects. That way I can break everything down into it's little steps and feel accomplished as I cross them all off!
Been using Google calendar since 2005ish. When I was traveling for a living, the only way I could ensure that I wouldn't over-schedule was to set up a shared-calendar with my wife. When I did so, I told her "if it's important to you but it ain't on that calendar, it's not my fault if I double-schedule something (and miss your event)". Only took missing a few key events (and expressing no remorse for doing so) for her to get the whole "gotta be in the calendar thing".
These days?
Fortunately, the mail apps I use all make it easy to have subscriptions to multiple calendars. And, since I'm not colorblind, it's easy to keep them all separate.
I have raised a similar question a while ago

What I did as a result was to have:
Might be overwhelming for some people but it works great for me
I've tried a lot of different things and I don't think I've found the definitive answer for me, but getting there!
Among the things I've tried/am working on:
Yes, I use task management software to manage my tasks and schedule. It is easier to break down my tasks and prioritize them. Not to mention I can put all my work in one place. So far, I like Trello and Quire.
Yes! Google Calendar for meetings and events. And Trello for organizing study and projects.
