Staying organized with so much I want to do

[Josh West]

Hey BP, I'm wondering what your strategies are for staying focused and organized. I find I have a lot that I want to accomplish during the day but often forget some tasks or take way too long on one, leaving little or no time for the rest. These tasks range from just doing laundry, cleaning my house and learning more about RE/business to making sure I set time aside for personal things like family, friends and my many hobbies. 

On a related note, I like to add things to my to do list and want to start taking notes to remember later on but I am still figuring out the best way to do that without crowding my small notebook I am trying to stay organized with. Any suggestions on best practices for what I mentioned is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
