get a pinboard with little bits of white cardboard and different coloured pins. write what you have to do on the cardboard the day you are given it, and write the due date in BIG letters. then chose a pin colour that is appropriate, like for me i have stuff that is so majorly important that if i dont do it right now i may as well keel over an die in red, less important but still important things in blue, green is stuff that will be important, just not yet, and white is events (go to movies, go away, etc). take a few minutes each day to make sure the pins are the right colour for that item..like, after a week or so, something that is green might need to go to blue. it doesnt take long, and it is really effective for me.
