How do you keep track of everything you need to do in a typical week?

B Natural answer

I rely on , so I can see the week in one place. On Sunday night, I put in appointments, deadlines, and family plans, then I leave some open space for surprises. During the week, I use for things I might forget, like paying bills or calling someone back. I also review in the morning and again after dinner, because that helps me stay realistic about what I can finish. If a task takes less than five minutes, I try to do it right away instead of saving it for later.
