Given that you have only one life, you cannot afford to waste any of it!
The time spent on setting up a good time management system will be paid back 100's of times.

THE ORIGINAL TIME MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS PAGE
Basic systems that work:
Plannerpads.com - Normally bound, one week view at a time, feeding the weekly list of activities by area, down to the daily things-to-do list and inserting things in time slots. Small space for notes and listing expenses. Transfer undones to the next page for the next week.
Full blown systems:
Franklin-Covey Planning Binder System, with available Plan Plus software for planning and printing and lots of training classes throughout the country. Carry a binder with you to keep organized and/or use a PDA or computer to carry the schedule and pages (i.e. no paper unless you choose to print something). Does pretty good priority ranking, good forms for binder.
Microsoft Outlook - Overkill for alot of people who don't need to network with others via the calendar. Download a free trial version to see how it operates.
My Life Organized - A nice system with "tree outlines" so that you can see the main items and subitems all at once and organize steps for follow up.
The Achieve Planner - Off the list, as it doesn't have multiple device hookup. I use a tree outline system that coordinates automatically with Google Calendar: GQueues.
My adapted system:
