I really like to use Google Calendar to manage my schedule and Google Keep for to-do lists. I also enjoy using real paper like post-it or simple notepads to remember what I've got to do on the day, once I got a task completed I just check-in it on the paper.
I LIVE by my paper planner. Without it, I'd probably be a total mess. I always get one with day breakdowns so I can have my daily To Do List, and month overviews so I can write important things in a catch-all page.
I also use Trello to keep track of specific projects. That way I can break everything down into it's little steps and feel accomplished as I cross them all off!
Bullet journal! That’s how I organize my life, tasks, projects, timelines, etc. I also use Diarly, a journaling app, to write and organize ideas, thoughts, etc. I try to write every day, what I did, what I learned, etc.
I use Google Calendar for events, a Trello board for general TODO things, and either an OrgMode file or another Trello board for each project I'm working on.
High level plans in Trello. Eg. Master rust this year, using resources listed in the card
Calendar for appointments. Eg Birthday parties, weddings to attend (not mine, of other people 😄)
Ticktick for low level task planning. Eg I need to submit this project, call my personal doctor to discuss my medical exams, go to the gym. In general tasks that must be done but there can be done anytime during the day.
Might be overwhelming for some people but it works great for me

Been using Google calendar since 2005ish. When I was traveling for a living, the only way I could ensure that I wouldn't over-schedule was to set up a shared-calendar with my wife. When I did so, I told her "if it's important to you but it ain't on that calendar, it's not my fault if I double-schedule something (and miss your event)". Only took missing a few key events (and expressing no remorse for doing so) for her to get the whole "gotta be in the calendar thing".
These days?
personal/private Calandar
personal/shared Calendar
work/private Calendar
work/PTO Calendar
work/team Calendar(s)
Fortunately, the mail apps I use all make it easy to have subscriptions to multiple calendars. And, since I'm not colorblind, it's easy to keep them all separate.
Yes, I use task management software to manage my tasks and schedule. It is easier to break down my tasks and prioritize them. Not to mention I can put all my work in one place. So far, I like Trello and Quire.
At my 30s I found out that there was a developer inside a Political Science Graduated.
I've been COO an CMO for 4 years but I decided to persue my dream and become a Front-end developer:)

I had no idea there were checklists in Google Keep! I love it even more now.
Yes, it actually has. I discovered it a few days ago and I got suprised.

I mostly use Todoist and Scrumpy.
Scrumpy for breaking down my side project into proper tasks and following an agile/scrum structure.
This is done as follows:
Todoist for my daily tasks. Every night I figure out what I'm going to do for the next day and add them to Todoist.
Todoist contains not only my side project related tasks, but it's also everything else I need to do for the current day.
For example:
and so on.
+1 for Todoist

For small tasks, Google Keep works fine too!
I have raised a similar question a while ago

What I did as a result was to have:

I've tried a lot of different things and I don't think I've found the definitive answer for me, but getting there!

Yes! Google Calendar for meetings and events. And Trello for organizing study and projects.
