Yea for Evernote! I use it pretty much as an external brain, as well. Also for the Toodledo, except I use the iOS app.
I get funny looks sometimes, but the only way I can keep up with my assignments, projects, work stuff and personal stuff is to keep multiple "guides". At the beginning of each semester or project, I update my physical calendar (with color-coded notes for each class, each job, personal stuff and family stuff). Then there's a "master list" Word doc that goes by week and date, with extended notes on readings, project partners, and related stuff. And there's Toodledo, that's the broken down into single item to-dos ("pack bag for recording session", "eat lunch before recording session", leave 10 minutes early for recording session") with reminder alarms. With my memory issues right now, and with so many things going on, it's the only way I *still* have those jobs and haven't flunked out of school.
