Live a simpler life. Optimize for spare time. Then you don't need all these tools to organize your chaos. Periodically, I get an urge to "organize" my life but when I start writing down digital TODO lists and fill in calendars they end up gaping almost empty, so I stop. Today, if I need to do something I write it down on a post-it and put it on my desk (right now there are two post-its with four bullet points). Those few time-sensitive events gets an event in the calender with associated alarm (this week it was two events).

Yes I do things, but those are hobbies and occasional hangouts, not hard to remember! :)

I think this is the only correct answer. Work is chaos by design, and requires organising. If your life requires organising at similar levels then that's a second job and another source of stress.

Same here. My todo list is mostly a reminder list and “don’t forget” items. Projects may need organizing but it usually just a matter of allocating the time for planning.
