If you are generally disorganized, get a spiral notebook and start making lists. Start by writing today's date followed by everything you need to do that day. As you finish items, cross them out with a single line, so you can still read what it said. If there is anything still on your list at the end of the day, write it at the top of the list the following day. Start your day with a list and you get more done.
I've always been a list maker as well. When I retired a couple of years ago, I read on this site or another one a suggestion to write down only 5 things you want to accomplish today, because if you write down 10 things and only accomplish 5, you will feel like a failure. If you complete the 5 items for today and have more time and want to do more, you can always find things to do. I took that to heart for a while to establish a new routine for myself, but now I'm back to writing everything little thing down, so I can see how much I've accomplished every day.
I AM NOT DISORGANIZED, QUITE THE OPPOSITE BUT I MAKE A LIST OF EVERYTHING I NEED TO DO THAT DAY AND AS I DO EACH ONE I CROSS IT OFF SO I KNOW I AM GETTING EVERYTHING I HOPED TO GET ACCOMPLISHED THAT DAY DONE. AND IT ALSO SHOWS ME HOW PRODUCTIVE I'VE BEEN .EVERYONE AT WORK AND HOME MAKES FUN OF ME AND MY LISTS BUT I RARELY FORGET TO DO OR GET SOMETHING
