Organizational Skills For Today's High Tech World?

arnie_apesacrappin asks: "Being a busy guy in an IT environment, I've noticed that there are quite a few young, technically savvy people that get handed a great deal of responsibility from their employers. A common occurrence, at least in my opinion, is that a young person doesn't always have the organizational skills to keep up with all the facets that a high pressure / high responsibility job brings. Included among the things that I'm considering are job tasks, social life, personal upkeep, money management, etc. It seems that one of these things (or one of many others) falls by the wayside in a person's new role. A feeling of having so many things to do that one doesn't know where to start sets in, which ends up affecting the ability of the individual to finish even simple tasks. So, what I'm asking is, how do you stay organized? I'm not looking for, 'buy a Palm Pilot,' but how people in the Slashdot community keep a handle on things."
