I have been using Microsoft ToDo for a while now, and what I've started to do is create a task for every bit of work I need to do. I have a hectic job, so a task might be as simple as "reply to Bob's email". Each morning, I review my tasks from the prior day and set up my list of ToDo's for the current day. At the end of each week, I create a new list to archive all completed tasks from the week, this way I have an easy way to go back and see what I accomplished in a given week.
I've tried many methods of keeping track of my stuff over the years, but I finally found a system that works for me. The killer feature in Microsoft ToDo is "My Day" where you are able to promote tasks into a special area for the current day. This helps you focus on the important things and not get distracted or overwhelmed by a big backlog of tasks.
I think leveraging the tools that already worked for me to keep me on track, and finding a way to use them to keep that "journal" is what really helped me commit to continuing.
