How do you time manage and prioritize your work and projects? (lemmy.ml)

I have, within the context of my job, things to do that will take various lengths of time and are of various priorities. If I get blocked on one it'd be useful to know what to switch to, and on.

I have, within the context of my personal life, things that I want to do that will take undetermined amounts of time and are of various priorities.

It'd also be nice to have a record to go back and reflect on when I did what. And it'd be nice to plan a little ahead so that I can decide what I hope to do next.

So... how do you do it? I am so bad at time management. Is there a useful software I can use (if so, is it foss)? Is there a way to keep consistent with my planner so that I don't fall behind on managing my time management, without falling into the trap of spending much effort on creating a time management system that all my time is spent managing my time.

I have a notion setup organized around tasks, calls to organize, and clients.

I have several view and attributes to fit the tasks to my workflow.

I have a daily routine and a weekly routine template that gets added to the task list regularly with custom views for each action. This includes reviewing the email inbox, the calendar, the long-term backlog, and many other things. I then end the daily routine by estimating among the open tasks, the most important and setting a workload for the day.
